摘要: A quantitative neuropathological necropsy study of the human cerebral cortex showed that number cortical neurones in superior frontal chronic alcoholic patients is significantly reduced compared with controls matched for age and sex. The motor did not differ between alcoholics, but both regions there was evidence had smaller (shrunken) than controls. Further studies are necessary to identify other selectively damaged brain damage associated alcohol.
