How Does Alcohol Affect the Brain?
First, dopamine alters the sensitivity with which dopamine-receptive neurons respond to stimulation by classical neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate.3 This mechanism is referred to as the phasic-synaptic mode of dopaminergic signal transmission. Second, dopamine can modulate the efficacy with which electrical impulses
