Is (poly-) substance use associated with impaired inhibitory control? A mega-an...

Many studies have reported that heavy substance use is associated with impaired response inhibition. Studies typically focused on associations with a single substance, while polysubstance use is common. Further, most studies compared heavy users with light/non-users, though substance use occurs along a continuum. The current mega-analysis accounted for these issues by aggregating individual data from 43 studies...

Response to "Is there room for attentional impairments in binge drinking? A com...

[Excerpt] We would like to thank Lannoy et al. (2019) for their interest in expanding and discussing some points of our systematic review of neuropsychological studies in binge drinkers (BDs) (Carbia et al., 2018b). While we appreciate the commentators’ interest in our work, it raises issues that warrant clarification. First, the authors argue that our conclusion regarding the apparent absence of attentional im...

Editorial: Binge drinking in the adolescent and young brain

A systematic review of neuropsychological studies involving young binge drinkers

Binge drinking (BD) is a public health concern with serious implications for brain development. This review is the first in which neuropsychological studies of healthy young BDs are synthesized following PRISMA guidelines. We conducted a literature search in PsycINFO, Web of Science, and PubMed. Articles were screened using strict inclusion criteria. Two authors independently assessed the methodological quality...

Trends in alcohol use among young people according to the pattern of consumptio...

AimTo identify differences in Risky Consumption (RC) and Binge drinking (BD) trends in students who already followed these patterns of alcohol consumption on starting university and those who did not, and also to try to understand what leads students to engage in these types of behaviour at university.Material and methodsCohort study among university students in Spain (n = 1382). BD and RC were measured with th...

Patterns of alcohol consumption in spanish university alumni: nine years of fol...

The aim of this study was to empirically identify different profiles of Spanish university alumni, based on their alcohol use over 9 years, and to further characterize them. A cohort study was carried out between 2005 and 2015 among university students (Compostela Cohort-Spain; n2015 = 415). Alcohol consumption was measured using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). A two-stage cluster analysis...

Electrophysiological anomalies in face-name memory encoding in young binge drin...

A growing body of evidence indicates that the intake of large amounts of alcohol during one session may have structural and functional effects on the still-maturing brains of young people. These effects are particularly pronounced in prefrontal and hippocampal regions, which appear to be especially sensitive to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol. However, to date, few studies have used the event-related potentia...

The brain of binge drinkers at rest: alterations in theta and beta oscillations...

Background: Previous studies have reported anomalous resting brain activity in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of alcoholics, often reflected as increased power in the beta and theta frequency bands. The effects of binge drinking, the most common pattern of excessive alcohol consumption during adolescence and youth, on brain activity at rest is still poorly known. In this study, we sought to assess the pattern o...

Binge drinking affects brain oscillations linked to motor inhibition and execution

Neurofunctional studies have shown that binge drinking patterns of alcohol consumption during adolescence and youth are associated with anomalies in brain functioning. Recent evidence suggests that event-related oscillations may be an appropriate index of neurofunctional damage associated with alcoholism. However, there is no study to date that has evaluated the effects of binge drinking on oscillatory brain re...

Anomalías neurocognitivas asociadas al consumo intensivo de alcohol (binge drin...

El consumo intensivo de alcohol o binge drinking (BD) constituye la forma de consumo problemático más común durante la adolescencia y juventud. Al mismo tiempo, es éste un período marcado por profundos cambios, tanto en la estructura como en el funcionamiento cerebral, que pueden verse afectados por el consumo intensivo de alcohol. En los últimos años, se ha publicado un importante número de estudios que tratan...
