Cognitive Dissonance

32.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

180
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Dissociative Disorders01:27

Dissociative Disorders

40
Dissociative disorders represent complex psychological conditions characterized by disruptions in consciousness, memory, identity, or perception. These disruptions cause individuals to experience a disconnection from their thoughts, emotions, and memories. The phenomenon is not merely an occasional lapse in attention but a profound alteration in mental functioning that can severely impact daily life.

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

161
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Addiction Research

Background:

  • Episodic future thinking (EFT) shows promise for improving decision-making in addiction and obesity.
  • Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is associated with impaired decision-making, potentially linked to altered neural connectivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the acute neural effects of EFT in individuals with AUD.
  • To examine how EFT impacts brain connectivity and delay discounting (DD) rates.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized functional MRI (fMRI) data from a pilot study and a previously published study.
  • Employed resting-state and task-based fMRI, including delay discounting (DD) tasks.
  • Analyzed connectivity within the default mode network, salience network, and hippocampus, with a focus on frontal regions and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).

Main Results:

  • EFT intervention led to statistically improved DD rates, a marker of reduced addictive behavior.
  • Resting-state fMRI revealed altered connectivity between the left hippocampus and frontal poles, suggesting EFT may normalize hypo-connectivity in AUD.
  • Found differences in resting-state connectivity between the salience network and the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (R DLPFC), with implications for decision-making speed and accuracy during DD tasks.

Conclusions:

  • The behavioral improvements in DD associated with EFT in AUD are likely linked to changes in neural connectivity patterns.
  • Altered connectivity in regions like the hippocampus, frontal poles, and DLPFC may represent key mechanisms through which EFT enhances decision-making.
  • Findings support the development of EFT as a targeted intervention for AUD and related disorders.
