That study on the return of brain function after cessation of heavy drinking is really interesting, and anecdotally I find it to be spot-on. Watching the brain "come back" - including increased cognition, dreams, return of long-forgotten memories - is one of the more compelling parts of the 'recovery' story... Very well-written piece, thank you.
