From genes to geography the cutting edge of alcohol research

The development of alcohol use problems, including alcoholism, is influenced by multiple genes (i.e., what we inherit), the environment (i.e., where and how we live), and interactions between the two. Defining precisely which genes and environmental factors are involved and how they interact in the development of alcohol use problems are complex tasks. Fortunately, a number of major technological advances are helping investigators make significant progress toward this goal. This issue of Alcohol Alert explores alcoholism-related interactions occurring within settings ranging from brain cells to city streets.
