Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chronic consumption of ethanol has been reported to modify several molecular events in the central nervous system. In this study, chronic treatment with ethanol changes the activity of dopaminergic system containing mTOR, which is projecting from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens as rewarding system. It is suggested that mTOR regulated by ethanol changes protein synthesis in the brain and causes addiction with synaptic plastisity.
