Chunk #80 — Potential for Translational Applications of Electrophysiological Measures of Brain Function — Electrophysiological Measures As Endophenotypes for Alcoholism
These findings further underscore the utility of electrophysiological and neurogenetics in understanding the genetics of alcoholism. Recent and future advances in genetic technology hold promise to enhance our understanding of the pathophysiology of AUD as well as to identify potential targets (e.g., neurotransmitter systems and pathways) for drug discovery for prevention and treatment of alcoholism and related disorders (Bodhinathan and Slesinger 2014).
