The Teenage Brain

Abstract: The high levels of alcohol consumption characteristic of adolescence may be in part biologically based, given that elevated consumption levels are also evident during this developmental transition in other mammalian species as well. Studies conducted using a simple animal model of adolescence in the rat has shown adolescents to be more sensitive than adults to social facilitatory and rewarding effects of alcohol, but less sensitive to numerous alcohol effects that may serve as cues to limit intake. These age-s… Show more

“…Family factors explained about 14% of the variance, which suggests that aside from personal, cognitive and affective factors, a close social environment also plays an important role in adolescence EIU.Adolescents are often shown to be the most vulnerable group in terms of developing EIU [8]. Their vulnerability stems from specific immaturity that is characteristic for the developmental period and includes increased impulsivity, impaired self-regulation, and higher tendencies toward reward-seeking behaviours [9,10]. Given the fact that the internet is a readily available tool that is thoroughly embedded in their everyday routines [11], EIU may become an issue for some adolescents.…”

“…En resumen, 1) la adolescencia es un período marcado por profundos cambios en el cerebro necesarios para el funcionamiento apropiado de funciones cognitivas tales como la memoria de trabajo o el control inhibitorio (Casey, Giedd y Thomas, 2000;Luna y Sweeney, 2004); 2) el alcohol es la droga más comúnmente usada entre los jóvenes y adolescentes (Eurobarometer, 2010;Hibell et al, 2009); 3) el BD es la forma de consumo problemático más común a esas edades (Farke y Anderson, 2007;Krauss, Baumeister, Pabst y Orth, 2009;Rehm, Rehm, Shield, Gmel y Gual, 2013); 4) este patrón de consumo intensivo resulta ser más dañino que el consumo regular de alcohol (Becker, 1998;Duka et al, 2004); y 5) el cerebro adolescente parece ser más vulnerable que el adulto a los efectos perjudiciales del alcohol (Cadaveira, 2009;Spear, 2013;White y Swartzwelder, 2005). Teniendo todo ello en cuenta, la persistencia del BD durante estos años de transición a la edad adulta reviste una particular preocupación desde el punto de vista social y sanitario y ha dado lugar a una línea de investigación sobre sus consecuencias neurocognitivas de gran desarrollo en los años recientes, que se revisa en este trabajo.…”
