Acute and Chronic Effects of Alcohol on Sleep and Sleep Related Brain Functioning in Adolescents

过度饮酒与身体伤害和危险性行为的风险增加有关，尤其是在青春期和青年期。在这个年龄段，酒精对睡眠时大脑活动的影响知之甚少。该项目调查睡眠中的大脑同步是否是青春期晚期酒精相关脑损伤的早期标志，以及急性中毒是否会在这一关键发育时期扰乱与睡眠相关的记忆过程

Excessive alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk of physical injury and risky sexual behaviour, particularly in adolescence and young adulthood. Little is known about alcohols impact on brain activity during sleep in this age group. This project investigates whether brain synchronisation during sleep is an early marker of alcohol related brain damage in late adolescence and if acute intoxication disrupts sleep related memory processes during this critical developmental period
