An interoceptive basis for alcohol priming effects.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Alcohol priming can modulate the value of rewards, as observed through the effects of acute alcohol administration on cue reactivity. However, little is known about the psychophysiological mechanisms driving these effects. Here, we examine how alcohol-induced changes in bodily states shape the development of implicit attentional biases and explicit cue reactivity.

Objectives

To characterize the interoceptive correlates of alcohol priming effects on alcohol attentional biases and cue reactivity.

Methods

In a two-session double-blind alcohol administration procedure, participants (n=31) were given a 0.4-g/kg dose of alcohol or a placebo drink. Cardiovascular responses were measured before and after alcohol administration to observe the effects of alcohol on vi
