Attentional Ability and Resilience to Alcohol Use Disorder: Neurocognitive Mechanisms
PROJECT SUMMARY A family history (FH) of alcohol use disorder (AUD) increases one’s personal risk of AUD by 3-4 fold. Given the large proportion of the burden of AUD endured by these individuals and their families, the development of impactful prevention and treatment strategies should consider focused strategies for those individuals. A compelling approach to accomplish this goal is to augment brain resilience mechanisms to compensate for underlying vulnerabilities, which would have greatest efficacy in those at highest risk for poor outcomes. With this objective in mind, we previously identified candidate neurocognitive mechanisms of resilience to familial risk for AUD by comparing…
