This is what happens to the brain after stopping alcohol

A study has proven the recovery process from overuse injuries.

7 months without alcohol, and the brain has the ability to completely regenerate itself from all the structural damage caused by excessive use.

Those who abuse alcohol chronically and for a long time usually suffer from AUD pathology, which is a cerebral disturbance characterized by a low capacity to stop or reduce the consumption of drinks, and which is accompanied by a thinning of some areas of the cortex. the brain. In this case, the authors of the study studied a group of people who were addicted to alcohol.

Mild changes were detected after 8 days of total cessation of consumption, with many after the first month, and this cerebral structural change continued after the third month, up to the seventh month. Until now, such studies have looked at the thickening of the cerebral cortex wall up to 2 months after stopping the use of alcohol, and this is the first time that it has been proven that the brain continues to self-regenerate, which is quite important.

However, studies will continue to understand the changes that are verified in brain functions.
