Abstract

Glucose uptake was studied in the brains of rats undergoing an overt ethanol-withdrawal syndrome by 2-deoxy- d-[ 14C]glucose autoradiography. In addition to a general increase in glucose uptake, localized alterations were observed in sensorimotor cortex, globus pallidus, thalamus and cerebellum. The results suggest that the ethanol-withdrawal syndrome is associated with a general increase in glucose metabolism as well as localized increases in functionally distinct regions of sensory and motor brain regions.
