Bold Markers of Response Inhibition Predict Onset of Frequent Binge Drinking- Kelly Courtney, PhD
Bold Markers of Response Inhibition Predict Onset of Frequent Binge Drinking- Kelly Courtney, PhD
Frontoinsular involvement is important for successful inhibition and cognitive control. Altered brain activation during response inhibition may allow for impulse regulation difficulties due to alcohol consumption. This can be used to inform and optimize interventions aimed at preventing the escalation of youth who already began drinking.

The Effects of Naltrexone on Neural Responses to Methamphetamine Cues - Kelly Courtney, PhD
The results of this study provide the first evidence of naltrexone-induced changes in BOLD measures of methamphetamine cue-induced craving. Functional connectivity with the nucleus accumbens was not found to be modulated by naltrexone, and instead the results suggest that naltrexone may be functioning to reduce the salience of the methamphetamine cues by reducing sensorimotor processing and integration, and by engaging greater frontal regulation of salience attribution via dopaminergic, glutamatergic, and/or GABAergic pathways linking the dorsal striatum, midbrain, and precuneus to frontal, dorsal striatal, and sensorimotor regions during methamphetamine cue processing. The knowledge of these neurobiological pathways may prove to be useful in the prediction of clinical outcomes and aid in the development and application of medications such as naltrexone for the treatment of methamphetamine use disorders.
