There are several steps that occur when drinking alcohol and the length of time over when the drinking occurs.
1. Alcohol affects the forebrain. The brain relaxes. This is the CEO of the brain. But poor decisions can be made and motor functions are also affected depending on the amount and time.
2. Further drinking shuts down the mid-brain and emotions are out of control. Fights occur, crying, etc.
3. Even more drinking shuts down the brain stem and heart rate drops, complete loss of consciousness can occur and even death.

What is another name for the cerebral cortex?
Another name for the cerebral cortex is the telencephalon.
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as?
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as the cerebral cortex and the cerebellar cortex.
Does sperm travel near the cerebral cortex?
No, sperm does not travel near the cerebral cortex. Sperm travels through the male reproductive system, specifically the vas deferens, to be ejaculated out of the body during ejaculation. The cerebral cortex is not directly involved in the movement or transportation of sperm within the body.
What would you not find in the cerebral cortex?
You would not find cell bodies of neurons in the cerebral cortex. Instead, the cerebral cortex mainly contains the axons, dendrites, and synapses of neurons, as well as glial cells that provide support and function.
Where are the cell bodies of cerebral neurons housed?
the cerebral neurons are housed in the cerebrums outer region called the CEREBRAL CORTEX
Which area of the brain can be damaged by chronic alcohol abuse?

How does alcohol affect health decisions?

What is in the cerebral cortex?
In the cerebral cortex there are 6 layers of neurons (grey matter).
What causes cerebral cortex?
Cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain. Having a brain that is capable of a variety of brain function "causes" the cerebral cortex!
Thin outer layer of gray matter in the brain?
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of thecerebrum, it is composed of six cell layers of deeply folded and ridged gray matter.
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as?
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as the cerebral cortex and the cerebellar cortex.
What has the author Lynn Bindman written?
Lynn Bindman has written: 'The neurophysiology of the cerebal cortex' -- subject(s): Cerebral cortex, Cerebralcortex 'The neurophysiology of the cerebral cortex' -- subject(s): Cerebral cortex, Neurophysiology
Do hallucinogens stimulate the cerebral cortex?
Some hallucinogens affect the temporal cortex, amygdala, and orbitofrontal cortex. It seems that these drugs have an effect on the cortex that is more like 1-3 drinks of alcohol. It is more relaxing than stimulating.
