Does locally-generated Acetaldehyde contribute to the Effects of Ethanol on Neurosteroids and LTP in the Hippocampus?
These observations indicate that acetaldehyde generated by local ethanol metabolism within the hippocampus serves as a signal for neurosteroid synthesis in pyramidal neurons, and participates in the synaptic dysfunction associated with severe alcohol intoxication.
Supplementary training on dealing with barriers to helping did not alter the helping behaviour. The timing and appropriateness of the aid provided can be improved.
