Behavioral inhibition and reward processing in college binge drinkers with and without marijuana use.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Binge drinking is common during college, and studies have shown that many college students drink in quantities that far exceed the standard binge drinking threshold. Previous research has noted personality differences in individuals who engage in binge drinking, but few studies have examined neurobiological differences in both standard bingers (4/5 drinks in two hours for females/males; sBinge) and extreme binge drinkers (8+/10+ drinks in two hours for females/males; eBinge).

Method

The current study of 221 college students used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study neural activation on a stop signal task (SST) to assess behavioral inhibition and a monetary incentive delay (MID) task to assess activation to rewards and losses. Non-bingeing controls, sBing
