The overt ethanol withdrawal syndrome is associated with a generalized increase in cerebral uptake of 2-deoxyglucose. Relatively high elevations of 2-deoxyglucose were observed in many structures associated with motor function, the mamillary body-anterior thalamus-cingulate cortex pathway, many thalamic nuclei, and the raphe. Overtly withdrawing rats had higher levels of 2-deoxyglucose than postwithdrawing animals that had been abstinent for 1-5 weeks in 96% of the gray areas evaluated. Postwithdrawal was associated with increased amounts of 2-deoxyglucose in comparison to controls in 80% of the gray areas evaluated. Postwithdrawal and control rats did not differ in some areas involved with motor function and some limbic structures, such as the mamillary body-anterior thalamus-cingulate cortex pathway. It is concluded that the ethanol-withdrawal syndrome results in alterations in cerebral physiology, some of which persist for at least 5 weeks postwithdrawal.
