<unk>  is a cognitive-physiological theory on<unk>  use disorder in which many of<unk> 's social and stress-reducing effects, which may underlie its addictive capacity, are explained as a consequence of<unk> 's narrowing of perceptual and cognitive functioning. The<unk>  model posits that rather than disinhibit,<unk>  produces a myopia effect that causes users to pay more attention to salient environmental cues and less attention to less salient cues. Therefore,<unk> 's myopic effects cause intoxicated people to respond almost exclusively to their immediate environment. This "nearsightedness" limits their ability to consider future consequences of their actions as well as regulate their reactive impulses.<unk> 's ability to alter behavior and decision-making stems from its impact on synaptic transmission at GABA receptors.<unk> 's effects on the synaptic level dampen the brain's processing ability and limit attentional capacity. Overall, the<unk>  theory proposes that intoxicated individuals will act rashly and will choose overly simple solutions to complex problems.
