“…There was also evidence of a positive doseresponse between amount drunk and the Word Fluency score, while there was an inverted-U-shaped relationship for the other two scores. There has been no consistent association between social drinking and delayed memory [27,37,48,49], while social drinkers (compared to nondrinkers) have shown decreased performance on the Digit Symbol test [49,50] but higher performance on Word Fluency [37] consistent with present results.…”

The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study administered cognitive function tests to more than 14,000 middle-aged adults in 1990–1992. The battery included the Delayed Word Recall test, the Digit Symbol Subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, and the Controlled Oral Word Association (Word Fluency) test. Test performance was correlated positively with education level, negatively with age, was better in women than in men, and better in managers/professionals compared with other occupations. After controlling for these factors, race and community, the findings most consistent for both sexes were that Delayed Word Recall was negatively associated with depressive symptoms, diabetes, and fibrinogen level; the Digit Symbol Subtest was associated with marital status, negatively associated with depressive symptoms, smoking status, fibrinogen level, and carotid intima-media thickness, and positively associated with alcohol drinking and FEV₁; and the Word Fluency test was positively associated with marital status, alcohol drinking, sports participation, and FEV₁. Most of these cross-sectional results were in the predicted direction and have biologic plausibility, but mean differences between extreme categories were small (generally on the order of 0.1 to 0.2 of a standard deviation). Longitudinal study is warranted to evaluate whether small differences in middle-age lead to larger, clinically meaningful deficits with aging.

“…All participants were given a structured interview MacVane et al, 1982) in which they were asked about their drinking patterns. Information was obtained about length of abstinence and the number of years of heavy drinking (quantified as greater than 21 drinks per week).…”

Background-Alcoholism-related deficits in cognition and emotion point toward frontal and limbic dysfunction, particularly in the right hemisphere. Prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices are involved in cognitive and emotional functions and play critical roles in the oversight of the limbic reward system. In the present study, we examined the integrity of white matter tracts that are critical to frontal and limbic connectivity.

GouzoulisMayfrank and colleagues (2000) showed that there were distinct neuropsychological profiles for users of both MDMA and cannabis that were different from that for users of cannabis only.…”

These findings suggest that previous ecstasy consumption can affect a wide range of neuropsychological performance, though figural fluency may be subsequently enhanced as a result of the phenomenon of "cortical disinhibition." Furthermore, measures of verbal and visual memory, switching attention, and verbal fluency may be particularly useful for differentiating abstinent ecstasy users from non-users.
