metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Alcohol abuse causes significant changes in cognitive functioning. These effects are related to the fact
  that ethanol and acetaldehyde, its first metabolite, affect the the brain’s neurotransmitter systems.
  Long-term abuse may lead to the dysexecutive syndrome (DES) exhibited through emotional, behavioral
  and cognitive symptoms. Alcohol has a specific dose-dependent effect on memory that serves as
  a block of memory consolidation, i.e. transition of the short-term memories to the long-term storage.
  This effect displays either as reversible amnesias of events from the alcohol abuse period (blackouts),
  or as an irreversible fixation amnesia within Korsakoff’s syndrome. Refs 34.
