A Protein In Brain Regulates Anxiety And The Consumption Of Alcohol

y human studies have suggested that variations in the BDNF gene may be associated with alcoholism and anxiety disorders, Pandey said.

“In people, alcoholism is very frequently associated with anxiety disorders," he said. “And it is well established that high levels of anxiety promote alcohol consumption and also play a crucial role in relapse to alcohol drinking.”

Pandey said the new research might suggest a target for drugs to treat or prevent anxiety and alcoholism.

"Our study suggests a molecular, neurochemical mechanism in the amygdala which may be responsible for the association of high levels of anxiety with excessive alcohol-drinking behaviour," he said.
