A new anxiety drug reboots the brain and reverses the damage caused by heavy drinking, a new study found. <br /><br />The drug tandospirone helped brain cells regenerate and stopped anxiety caused when drinkers go "cold turkey" by curbing cravings. <br /><br />Heavy drinking inhibits neurogenesis, the brain's ability to grow and replace neurons or brain cells. <br /><br />But in mice experiments the drug reversed the effects of a 15-week long binge, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) researchers found.
