Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol free life!

Alcohol...and your Brain with Dr Edie Sullivan


Listen Later

My guest this week was Dr Edie Sullivan, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University 
 
  • In this episode:-

Neuropsychologist Dr Edie chronicles her journey from studying memory at MIT and working on notable cases like patient H.M., to her research on the devastating impacts of alcohol use disorder and Alzheimer's disease.

She discusses her experiences with memory research, neuroimaging, and the significant relationship between alcohol use and memory impairment, including conditions like Korsakoff syndrome.

The conversation also delves into the dangers of alcohol blackouts, the evolving understanding of alcohol use disorder as classified by the DSM, and the correlation with HIV risks.

Dr Edie also offers insights on the impact of alcohol on adolescent brain development, strategies for recovery, and emphasizes the importance of community support and reputable resources like the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
