Alcohol and Nerve Cell Growth
We saw this reference to a report in The findings are published by Karolinska Institutet. The nerve cell growth is thought to relate to alcohol dependency. Not a good thing.
Very interesting.It is generally accepted these days that new nerve cells are continually being formed in the adult brain. One suggestion is that these new neurons could be important for memory and learning. The number of new cells formed is governed by a number of factors such as stress, depression, physical activity and antidepressants.
