Two studies published on this Topic tested, via magnetic resonance imaging, binge-related alterations on the structural properties of the nucleus accumbens and caudate nucleus, and on the balance between response inhibition and alcohol-related processing
The authors suggest that this signaling pathway may link adolescent alcohol exposure to greater likelihood of alcohol use disorders (AUD) in adulthood
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Motivation and Reward, a section of the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. One of those lingering, unanswered questions is the role that an early age of alcohol onset has on the probability of later engaging in risky drinking and/or developing an AUD. It is possible that early alcohol exposure alters brain (Pascual et al, 2007) or social processes (Light et al, 2013) that, in turn, facilitate alcohol seeking and intake.
