fMRI BOLD response to alcohol stimuli in alcohol dependent young women

Article Abstract:

To examine brain response to alcohol-related words, alcohol-dependent young women and female light social drinkers were administered an alcohol cue reactivity task during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The results indicate that alcohol dependent young women demonstrate significantly more blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response than nonabusers during alcohol word presentation trials to relative to neutral word trials in subcallosal, anterior cingulate, left prefrontal, and bilateral insular regions.
