04 Sep 2017 --- Brain functions in young men and women are changed by long-term alcohol use, but these changes are significantly different in men and women. This is according to research which indicates not only that young people might be at increased risk of long-term harm from alcohol use, but also that the risks are probably different in men and in women, with men possibly more at risk. The work from a Finnish research group was presented this week at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) meeting in Paris.
