Brain flow study for light drinkers
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to measure blood flow in the brain after drinking alcohol. It includes only healthy volunteers who drink lightly, to help researchers understand how alcohol affects the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to give informed consent and follow study rules.
- You must be a light drinker (fewer than 6 drinks per week).
- You must not have any MRI safety issues (like metal implants or claustrophobia).
- You must not have a history of alcohol or drug abuse.
- You must not have liver disease or take medicines like metronidazole that interact badly with alcohol.

This study uses a special brain scan to look at how alcohol use affects energy production in brain cells. It may help researchers find new ways to treat alcohol use disorder.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called PDE4B in people with alcohol use disorder. The goal is to better understand how alcohol affects the brain, which may lead to new treatments.
This study uses a treatment called TMS to see how it affects attention (how you focus and process information). You may be placed in a group based on how often you drink alcohol, and your eligibility depends on safety checks for MRI and TMS.
This study looks at whether alcohol use disorder affects the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in movement and balance. It may help researchers understand brain impacts and guide better treatments.
This study gives a controlled amount of alcohol and uses brain MRI scans to understand how alcohol affects people with bipolar disorder. It may help researchers find brain and behavior patterns that explain differences in alcohol responses.
This study looks at how drinking alcohol affects brain activity during social interactions. You will be asked to visit the lab, consume a measured amount of alcohol, and have your brain activity recorded while talking or interacting with others. It aims to help understand social brain function.
