Brain scans reveal how problem drinkers process social and alcohol cues

This study looked at how the brains of people with alcohol use disorder respond to pictures of social situations and alcohol. Researchers used MRI scans to measure brain activity while participants viewed these images. The goal was to better understand the link between drinking and social behavior, and to test if a technique called neurofeedback could help people control their brain responses. The study included both healthy volunteers and people with alcohol use disorder.
