Brain Can Repair Alcohol’s Damage
Excessive drinking can damage brain cells but the brain can repair some of the harm, a team of international researchers said. Bartsch and scientists from Germany, Britain, Switzerland and Italy uncovered the brain's regenerative ability by measuring the volume, form and function of the brains of 15 alcoholic men and women before and after they stopped drinking to see how much they changed over seven weeks. The human brain, and particularly its white matter, seems to possess genuine capabilities for re-growth," Bartsch said.
