This study looks at how certain learning mechanisms in the brain (called Pavlovian conditioning) influence your ability to control alcohol or drug use. It may help explain why some people have trouble stopping, and could lead to better treatments. You'll fill out questionnaires and likely have a brain scan (MRI).
This study tests how being socially isolated changes your brain's automatic (Pavlovian) reactions to alcohol. It may help explain why drinking habits can get stronger when you're alone.
This study compares people with alcohol use disorder to people without it to better understand the psychological processes involved. Researchers will ask you to complete questionnaires about your mood, anxiety, and thinking patterns to help improve treatment approaches.
This study collects natural history information and brain imaging (MRI) using an imaging instrument to compare people with alcohol use disorder and people without. It may help researchers understand how brain imaging works in real-world participants and how it relates to alcohol-related health.
This study uses special brain and heart scans to see how sugar (glucose) is used in people with alcohol use disorder compared with people without it. It may help researchers understand the brain–heart connection in alcohol use disorder.
This early-phase study looks at how alcohol affects impulsivity (tendency to act quickly) and people’s subjective experiences. You may be able to join if you drink regularly and meet the study safety rules.
