Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether long-term chronic alcoholism is associated with changes in emotional functioning and brain structure and function
Detailed Description:
This research investigates brain structure and function in alcoholics compared to healthy nonalcoholic individuals Alcoholics have shown impairments in cognitive processing of emotional signals Some alcoholics are impaired in social skills and many are unable to implement the strategies for interpersonal interactions that they recommend for themselves For example alcoholics have difficulty interpreting non-verbal emotional cues and recognizing facial expressions of emotion When listening to sentences alcoholics also have some difficulty judging emotional intonations and emotional content In our research we are trying to understand where in the brain these emotional behaviors take place and whether or not the brain functions differently for alcoholic and nonalcoholic individuals We present emotional words and pictures on a computer screen and using MRI scans we observe how the brain works when people purposefully respond to the words and pictures Additionally we are comparing brain structure and activation patterns in men and women because there may be gender differences in responses to emotional stimuli
