Psychiatric comorbidity in older long-term abstinent alcoholics.

We compared these findings with our previously reported re...
متن کاملNormal Controls and Alcoholics
The auditory P50 evoked response to click stimuli was recorded from 10 2-week abstinent African-American chronic cocaine abusers and 10 African-American non-substance-abusing controls. Stimuli consisted of pairs of clicks with a 500-msec interval between clicks in a pair, and a 7-8 sec interval between pairs of clicks. After averaging responses to 100 pairs of clicks and digital bandpass filter...
متن کاملSubcortical volumes in long-term abstinent alcoholics: associations with psychiatric comorbidity.
BACKGROUND Research in chronic alcoholics on memory, decision-making, learning, stress, and reward circuitry has increasingly highlighted the importance of subcortical brain structures. In addition, epidemiological studies have established the pervasiveness of co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses in alcoholism. Subcortical structures have been implicated in externalizing pathology, including alco...
متن کاملMismatch negativity: no difference between treatment-naive alcoholics and controls.
BACKGROUND Several studies have examined the mismatch negativity (MMN) evoked potential as a measure of a brain inhibitory deficit in alcoholics or those at risk for alcoholism. This study examined MMN in actively drinking treatment-naive alcohol-dependent individuals. This study examined the association of MMN with risk factors for alcoholism, postalcohol withdrawal hyperexcitability, and alco...
