Scientists scan brains to unlock secret of alcoholism risk
NCT ID NCT05203965
Summary
This Yale University study aims to understand how brain activity differs in people with a family history of alcoholism. Researchers will use MRI brain scans to compare participants' responses to rewards and alcohol-related cues after they take either a single dose of an experimental drug (mavoglurant) or a placebo. The goal is to learn more about the brain biology behind the risk of developing alcohol problems, not to treat or prevent alcoholism.
