Compared to people at low risk for alcohol-use problems, those at high risk showed a greater dopamine response in a brain pathway that increases desire for rewards. These findings, published in the journal <em>Alcoholism: Clinical &amp; Experimental Research</em>, could help shed light on why some people are more at risk of suffering from alcoholism and could mark an important step toward the development of treatment options.</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/799px-alcohol_bottles_photographed_while_drunk.jpg?itok=DgVB9cn_" width="160" height="120" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">12 </span><span class="month">August </span><span class="year">2013</span></div></div></div></div></div> Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:07:30 +0000 webfull 97927 at /channels
