[펌] 완전금주하면 뇌기능 원래대로 돌아올 수 있어

"We looked at dividing cells after our four-day binge model of alcohol dependency and confirmed what we previously observed: When the animals were intoxicated, the measure of dividing cells decreases," said Nixon. "And after abstinence for one week, we saw a huge burst in the number of new cells being born.""And when they stop drinking, you can show in a period of weeks, months, years, the brain grows back, there's a return of metabolic activity, and cognitive tests show a return of function," Crews said.http://www.news-medical.net/news/2004/11/08/6141.aspxStudies by Pfefferbaum (1995, 1998) show that with long periods of abstinence or moderate drinking the brains of alcoholic dependent subjects return to nearly the same size as their nondrinking counterparts.To summarize: The brains of long term, heavy drinkers shrink, but they return to almost full normal size after a long period of abstinence or moderate drinking.Unless there is brain damage which is due to thiamine deficiency or liver failure nearly all brain functions of alcohol dependent drinkers can be returned to normal with a long period of abstinence or moderate drinking. Cognitive functioning tends to return to normal when brain size returns to normal.http://www.hamsnetwork.org/brain_damage/-----완전히 술을 끊으면 뇌의 크기나 기능이 보통 수준으로 돌아오는 것이 가능.2주 동안 금주 했을때 뇌 크기가 2% 늘어났다는거보면 속도가 빠른거 같기도The researchers from Germany, the UK, Switzerland and Italy measured the patients' brain volume at the beginning of the study and again after about 38 days of sobriety, and they found that it had increased by an average of nearly two per cent during this time.Only one patient seemed to continue to lose some brain volume, and this was also the patient who had been an alcoholic for the longest time.The leader of the research, Dr Andreas Bartsch from the University of Wuerzburg, Germany, said: "The core message from this study is that, for alcoholics, abstinence pays off and enables the brain to regain some substance and to perform better. However, our research also provides evidence that the longer you drink excessively, the more you risk losing this capacity for regeneration. Therefore, alcoholics must not put off the time when they decide to seek help and stop drinking; the sooner they do it, the better."Dr Bartsch said: "After short-term sobriety of less than two months, we found that brain volume had increased by an average of nearly two per cent (1.82%), with a range of -0.19 to 4.32%. Only the one patient with the longest history of alcohol dependence (25 years) had a slightly reduced brain volume (-0.19%), but that value is within the margin of measurement error. Volumetric brain recovery was signified by the patients' brains expanding beyond their previous limits, with an outward brain edge shift for the outer regions and an inward shift for the inner ones."Our results indicate that early brain recovery through abstinence does not simply reflect rehydration. Instead, the adult human brain, and particularly its white matter, seems to possess genuine capabilities for re-growth. Our findings show the ways that the brain can recover from the toxic insults of chronic alcoholism and substantiate the early measurable benefits of therapeutic sobriety. However, they also suggest that prolonged dependence on alcohol may limit rapid recovery from white matter brain injury.http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-12/oup-bcr121406.php-----술을 완전끊으면 뇌의 크기는 물론 기능역시 원상태로 복구가 가능다만, 과도하게 오랜기간동안 지속적으로 알콜을 섭취하였을 경우에는 술을 끊더라도 뇌의 용량이 줄어드는 것을 볼 수 있다.25년동안 죽어라 퍼마신 새끼는 금주해도 뇌 용량이 0.19% 감소했음.The old wives’ tale that alcohol kills brain cells dates all the way back to, you guessed it, U.S. Prohibition, according to YouTube’s SciShow. Around the passing of the 18th Amendment, the American Temperance movement began spreading the rumor that alcohol consumption killed our precious brain cells. Due to the slowed movement, slurred speech, and just plain silly actions of drunkards, this rumor was widely accepted as fact and spread like wildfire. In fact, it wasn’t until 1993, exactly 60 years after the repeal of the Prohibition Act, that science was able to finally conclude without a shadow of a doubt that alcohol did not kill brain cells. Researchers compared the brain cells of alcoholics with non-drinkers and found no notable differences.When alcohol reaches the brain, it disables function by damaging the connective tissue at the end of neurons. This disrupts communication among neurons and makes it harder for an individual to focus or complete minor tasks. http://www.medicaldaily.com/does-drinking-alcohol-actually-kill-brain-cells-300798-----여태까지 술이 뇌세포를 파괴한다고 하였지만 실제로는 술은 뇌세포를 파괴할 수 없다고 1993년에 결론내림.결과적으로는 뇌세포를 파괴하는 것이 아니라 뉴런끝에 달려있는 결합조직을 파괴시킴으로써 뇌기능을 마비시키거나 저하시키는 것.Neuza Pereira · Mississauga, OntarioDrinking does damage nervous tissue.
