Objective: The varying results of visual event-related potential (ERP) studies of central and peripheral cueing suggest that these types of cue may modulate stimuli processing with different time courses. The aim of this ...

Background: Binge drinking (BD) is prevalent among college students. Studies on alcoholism have shown that the prefrontal cortex is vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol. The prefrontal cortex undergoes both ...

Background: The prevalence of binge drinking (BD) has been on the rise in recent years. It is associated with a range of neurocognitive deficits among adolescents and young emerging adults who are especially vulnerable to ...

Background Adolescence is a time of considerable neurodevelopment. Binge drinking (BD) during this period increases the vulnerability to its neurotoxic effects. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the relationship ...

Introducción: Los estudios que han analizado el funcionamiento cognitivo de sujetos alcohólicos en función de la historia familiar de alcoholismo (HF+) han obtenido resultados poco consistentes, debido quizá a que el efecto ...

Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from a group of young children of alcoholics (HR; n -17, 7 females) with a high-density family-history of alcoholism and from a control group (CN; n -19, 10 females), ages 7–15 ...

Background: Voltage of the P300 component of eventrelated potentials (ERPs) has been proposed as a phenotypic marker of risk for alcoholism. P3a elicited by intrusive events is important in the context of deficits ...

The aim of the present study was to determine how binge drinking (BD) affects brain functioning in male and female university students during the performance of a visual discrimination task. Thirty two binge drinkers and ...

Binge drinking (BD), a harmful pattern of alcohol consumption, is common during adolescence. Young adults with alcohol use disorders exhibit hippocampal alterations and episodic memory deficits. However, it is not known ...

Aims: Adolescence is usually the time when individuals first drink alcohol and this has been associated with relatively weak or immature inhibitory control. This review examines the changes on brain development and inhibitory ...
