Abstract
Ethanol or ethyl alcohol is an age-old substance with abuse potential that can lead to a myriad of organ damage as well as behavioral and neurotoxicological consequences. Although no specific receptor for alcohol has been identified, it is known to interact with numerous neurotransmitter systems and cellular components. In this chapter, the behavioral and toxicological effects of ethanol on the adult central nervous system (CNS) as well as its known molecular mechanisms are discussed. In addition, current and potential novel treatments for alcohol use disorder (AUD) are touched upon.
