Summary
This study aims to understand why some people are more vulnerable to alcoholism by looking at brain activity. Researchers will give 80 adults with a family history of alcohol problems either a single dose of the drug mavoglurant or a placebo, then use MRI scans to see how their brains respond to rewards and alcohol-related images. The goal is to learn more about the brain chemistry behind addiction risk, not to treat or cure alcoholism.
