A recent study of scientists at Stanford University has found that the human brain is able to completely restore damage caused by alcohol. Although this process takes time, rejection of alcohol can lead to a complete recovery of brain activity.
The study is exceptionally long -term, as scientists wanted to determine how long recovery can last. The results indicate that after 7.3 months the brain retention can return to the condition before use. Scientists have also found that the areas of the prefrontal cortex are recovered in the first month after refusing alcohol, and then the recovery is slower, within the next 6 months.
Earlier, scientists have already noted that alcohol can lead to thinning of areas of the cerebral cortex, but this study revealed that the brain has the potential to recover completely after rejection of alcohol.
In particular, the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for planning and making decisions, can restore its activity, but this process takes time. People with a disorder caused by alcohol consumption can be difficult to make healthy decisions due to the impact on the prefrontal measles.
Although the results are encouraging, scientists note that additional studies are needed to understand the complete recovery of brain after prolonged alcohol consumption. However, this study makes an important contribution to how the body can restore its functions after giving up bad habits.
