COGNITIVE BIOMARKER FOR ALCOHOLISM

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 酒精使用障碍（AUDs）的一个基本特征是持续使用酒精，尽管已知对个人和社会的不良后果。 导致过度饮酒的因素包括酒精引起的认知/心理影响，这些影响可能会损害个人就开始和继续饮酒做出正确决定的能力。 该项目调查执行功能的缺陷是否是AUD发展的诱发因素，或者仅仅是长期酒精暴露的结果。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. An essential feature of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) is the continued use of alcohol despite the known adverse consequences to the individual and to society. Factors contributing to excessive alcohol use include alcohol-induced cognitive/psychological effects that may impair an individual's ability to make sound decisions regarding the initiation and continued use of alcohol. This project investigates whether deficits in executive functioning are a predisposing contributor to the development of AUDs or simply a consequence of long-term alcohol exposure.
