Alcohol exposure during adolescence can harm developing brains. However, the brain's neuroplasticity allows it to heal. Abstinence can help damaged parts regrow. #BrainHealth #Neuroplasticity #AlcoholAwareness #BrainDevelopment
The human brain continues to grow from adolescence into the 30s. Any alcohol exposure, even in small amounts, during these formative years of brain development can negatively affect the brain. The human brain is also neuroplastic, and it can heal itself like any other part of the body. If someone is drinking alcohol daily and they stop drinking and go into abstinence, then some of the brain damage related to the alcohol can reverse. During abstinence, the brain can regrow the parts that were lost or damaged due to alcohol consumption.
