Alcohol consumption impairs motor coordination, attentional efforts and memory function. Alcohol-impaireddriving accounted in 2013 for ~31% of all traffic accidents resulting in 10,076 fatalities and $59 billion crash-related cost. We propose to study the mechanisms how ethanol affects brain state-dependent neuralsignaling. Brain state-dependent signaling comprises adjustments in cellular and circuit activity to optimizehow the brain processes information in a distinct behavioral context.
