Researcher studies neuron link between impulsivity and alcohol use disorder
Nearly 28.9 million people over the age of 12 in the U.S. lived with an alcohol use disorder in the past year. A postdoctoral fellow at the IU School of Medicine is investigating how specific neurons found in the brain’s prefrontal cortex may impact impulsive behaviors among those with a genetic risk for alcohol use disorder.September 11, 2025
