As we enter the 2nd wave of the Covid pandemic, alcohol is much in the news. The relationship between alcohol and Covid is multi-faceted. There is evidence that alcohol consumption has increased during lockdown, as have mental health problems. Access to services has been impacted. Alcohol consumption may also increase the risk of infection, for instance by causing disinhibition and reduced social distancing.
On the moring of the 9th December we will be holding a webinar on how Alcohol Related Brain-Damage can impact on Mental Capacity and Adult Safeguarding.
The webinar will be presented by Professor Ken Wilson.
Neurobiology is the study of the nervous system. It combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, mathematical modelling, and psychology to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons and neural circuits.
This aids the understanding of the biological basis of learning, memory, behaviour, perception, and consciousness.
