It makes sense if you think about it. Alcohol is a potent GABA receptor agonist, and will increase the amount of GABA in your brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. As soon as GABA wears off, it’s like a clamp being removed from the neurons. In alcoholics this becomes so extreme the neurons die off due to excitotoxicity (caused by upregulation of NMDA receptors). All that being said, there are better ways to enhance cognition. Like exercise. The conclusion should be “think harder when you’re drunk, as it will boost your baseline cognition” ;-) |
