Abstract in brief

  • Alcohol dependence is a widespread mental disorder with serious health impacts, and current prevention and treatment methods are not very effective.
  • Research indicates that the dopamine system plays a key role in alcohol dependence, but findings are inconsistent due to variations in study methods, alcohol doses, and influences of other brain chemicals.
  • Understanding the interaction between alcohol consumption and the dopamine system is crucial for developing better strategies to treat and prevent alcohol dependence.]
