It was previously shown that suffering from alcohol addiction as the result of TMS, there is a so-called higher electrical response in the cerebral cortex compared with those who almost never drink alcohol.
“In the new study, we found men who drink stronger response to TMS. In women it was much weaker, which really surprised us. The results indicate that long-term consumption of alcohol harm the male brain (causing significant changes in its functioning) than women. This suggests that the planning of the pharmacological treatment of alcoholism should focus also on gender differences,” said Dr. Carr.
