Studies show that alcohol's effects depend on

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alcohol's effects are primarily due to its ability to increase the binding of GABA to its receptors, which in turn causes an influx of Cl⁻ ions and leads to the sedative effects of alcohol. This is why the correct answer is D, as both a (increased GABA binding) and c (influx of Cl⁻ ions) are correct. While decreased dopamine activity in the mesolimbic system is a consequence of alcohol use, it is not the primary mechanism by which alcohol exerts its effects on the brain.
