Q&A: Can structural damage to the developing brain, due to binge drinking during adolescence be reversed?
Question by xninjatunax: Can structural damage to the developing brain, due to binge drinking during adolescence be reversed?
Can structural damage to the developing brain, due to binge drinking during adolescence be reversed by abstinence in adulthood? (completely quitting drinking from 20 years old onwards?) Also, does the damage caused actually limit the persons ability to learn and store new memories permanently or, with abstinence, does the brain compensate by forging new neural pathways etc?

…………………………………………………………….
Ok, after reading up on this the only studies available seem to be on adolescent rats because of ethical reasons etc.
There are articles all over the internet raving about the extremely dangerous effects of binge drinking on the adolescent brain but can these results taken from studies on rats really give an understanding of binge drinking on the human adolescent? If the human brain is more complex than mabye new neural pathways will appear to compensate for lost nerve cells?
p.s. Sorry about that last part not really making sense and repeating what I’ve already said…Maybe the damage is permanent!

Good question… Since neurology is still a “practice”, there are differing opinions. If you go to Bob Doman’s site at http://www.nacd.org, he espouses the opinion that the brain is ever plastic, and that neural pathways can be repaired through different types of therapy.

Damage to the brain, regardless of the cause, is permanent. The brain does not have the ability to repair itself. As far as the ability to learn, that depends on the level of damage existing in the bain. The more severe the damage, the less likely you are to be able to remember things long term.

This is what you get when little kids drink. This is also the reason we have lower ACT scores every year hahaha.

It has been believed for years that the adult brain is incapable of repairing itself. Recent studies have shown that neurogenesis does occur in the olfactory bulb(responsible for our ability to smell) and the hippocampus(associated with memory). So I suppose it would depend on the extent of the damage and what areas of the brain were affected.
New research into Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease may unlock technology allowing repair of more extensive damage.
