Drinking alcohol helps to perpetuate negative memories

  Employees of the Johns Hopkins University found: alcohol does not help get rid of unpleasant memories. Moreover, with the use of alcohol such memories become brighter. The fact that alcohol strengthens connections between neurons and the brain center of fear, writes The Daily Mail.



  Scientists conducted a study on mice. In rodents develop fear. Animals received an electric shock when they hear different sounds. The mice were then divided into two groups. (vermox worms) The first group was given normal water, and the second - a beverage with content of 20% ethanol. The next day, the researchers tried to destroy negative association.retin-a cream They reproduce the same sounds, but the shock did not get the mouse.

  Specialists noticed that the rodents who were given alcohol, often froze as compared to those who drank plain water. To understand what is the reason, researchers examined brain tissue samples of mice. The researchers found that in the synapses (connections between neurons) in animals receiving alcohol had more receptors. That is, connections are tight, so the negative memories was difficult to eliminate. vigora 100 red
