“…Regarding alcohol-associated cues, previous studies described increased cue related activity in the insula, striatum, the amygdala and frontal regions such as the ACC, medial PFC or OFC (Bach et al, 2020;Goldstein & Volkow, 2002;Heinz, Beck, Grusser, Grace, & Wrase, 2009;Vollstädt-Klein et al, 2012;Vollstädt-Klein et al, 2010). Our results suggest that salience attribution and cue-reactivity in response to alcohol cues is Further examination is needed to determine whether depleted cognitive resources might underlie this increased cue reactivity, as the current study did not reveal a significant negative correlation between prefrontal activity and ADHD severity.…”

Rationale Compared to the general population, adult Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is more prevalent in patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Impaired behavioral inhibition is a common characteristic in both ADHD and AUD. Relapse risk is increased in patients with AUD and comorbid, untreated ADHD and in AUD patients with increased neural cuereactivity. Objectives In this study, we examined the interaction between neural correlates of behavioral inhibition and alcohol cuereactivity with a hybrid imaging task. Methods Out of 69 adult study participants, we included n = 49 in our final analyses: Individuals had a diagnosis of either AUD (n = 13), ADHD (n = 14) or both (n = 5), or were healthy controls (HC; n = 17). The functional magnetic resonance imaging paradigm aimed to examine the combined effects of both an interference-inhibition task ("Simon-task") and an alcohol cuereactivity task. Instead of segregating by diagnostic group, we pursued a dimensional approach in which we compared measures of AUD and ADHD severity, as well as the interaction of both, using multiple regression analyses. Results The four groups did not differ on the behavioral level on either the inhibition task or the alcohol cue-reactivity task. However, brain activation in frontal control and reward-related regions during completion of the combined tasks were related to ADHD and AUD severity (symptom load). During presentation of both alcohol cues and the inhibition task, participants with higher AUD and ADHD symptom load exhibited greater BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) responses in subcortical reward-related regions. Conclusions Our findings support the hypothesis that ADHD additionally diminishes inhibition ability in individuals with AUD. This may increase relapse risk when confronted with alcohol cues. Further, it is crucial for patients with comorbid AUD and ADHD to take into account not only reduced cognitive control over behavioral inhibition but also simultaneously heightened alcohol cue-reactivity.

“…A recent review highlighted the need to delve into emotional regulation and the moderating role of impulsivity in alcohol consumption [7]. Likewise, the evidence of differences in the pattern of neural activation between individuals with high risk of resilient alcoholism and those who are vulnerable concerning the mechanisms of emotional regulation has sparked interest in the identification of markers of resilience in alcohol addiction [8,9].…”

In recent years, new consumption patterns, such as binge drinking, have increased among young people and have not always been recognized as problematic either by health personnel or by society in general, as they are intensive episodes, interspersed with no consumption periods. Although the prevalence of alcohol use disorders in the adult population continues to be higher in men than in women, these gender differences in relation to alcohol consumption are barely observed in adolescents between 14 and 18. Therefore, we are witnessing a change in the pattern of consumption, from regular to episodic, and an attenuation of gender differences. New patterns of alcohol consumption have not only been associated with an increased risk of alcohol use disorders in adult life, but also with neurocognitive involvement in youth. Understanding the risk and resilience factors of alcoholism or problematic drinking patterns will not only allow us to identify the most vulnerable group, but also to guide prevention programs towards protective factors; the skills that contribute to the natural abandonment of the pattern. Knowing the variables involved in the trajectories of abandonment and dependency would contribute to personalizing the interventions and increasing their efficacy and success—a lower relapse rate—, reducing the economic and socio-sanitary costs associated with alcohol dependency, as well as improving the health and well-being, family relations, work and social status of alcohol-dependent people.

“…Recently, it has also been suggested that impulsive traits associated with antisocial behavior compromise the development of empathy (see Massey et al, 2018 ); this suggestion has yet to be confirmed. A recent review highlights the interrelationship between emotional processing, affective states and impulsivity ( Herman and Duka 2018 ). These ideas further motivated us to include measurements of impulsivity within the current study; trait impulsivity ratings were taken to test the relationship between predicted changes in brain activation related to empathy in binge drinkers and their impulsivity ratings.…”

Highlights We measure empathic responses to imagery pain while adopting a ‘self’ vs ‘other’ perspective. Social drinkers who binge drink respond more slowly to imagery pain than those who do not. Binge drinkers show also stronger activation in fusiform body area to imagery pain ‘other’ Differences between binge and non-binge drinkers relate to ‘self’ vs. ‘other’ distinction.
