Abstract
Neurobiological research has yielded a variety of important results on the field of alcohol use disorders in recent years. This article tries to give a brief overview of these results. Especially in researching the genetic disposition many new results have come forward. But also on the field of neurotransmitter changes new findings using animal models as well as modern imaging methods were made. New and interesting insights come from research of the hypothalamic-pituitary gland hormonal systems, endocannabinoid receptors, as well as opiate receptors. New pharmacological approaches for the treatment of alcohol use disorders begin to evolve from these neurobiological findings.
