Cerebral Cortex
The outer surface of the brain, the cerebral cortex, works with information from your senses.
Your cerebral cortex on alcohol:
Your inhibitions are lowered due to alcohol’s depressing effect. A small amount may make you
•
feel relaxed and confident, but before long you’re likely to talk too much, act silly and stupid, or
have impaired judgment.
Your cerebral cortex performs more slowly.
•
Your vision may get blurry, you may slur your words, and you could have decreased hearing and
•
trouble smelling and tasting.
Central Nervous System
When you think of something you want your body to do, the central nervous system—the brain and the
spinal cord—sends a signal to that part of the body.
Your central nervous system on alcohol:
Alcohol slows down the central nervous system.
•
You will think, speak, and move slower.
