Scientists Identify Neurons that Tell You to Stop Drinking

Millions of people in the United States and abroad suffer from alcoholism, having difficulty controlling their urge to drink heavily. However, scientists say that they have now identified a particular neuron that once activated, can help a person stop drinking alcohol. The team at Texas A&M University is confident that this could be a huge step forward in the fight against alcoholism, and may even work to prevent people from drinking in the first place.
