During his talk, Dr. Guo presented the results obtained by the study group on the neural mechanisms behind social dysfunction in alcohol use disorder. Within the conducted research, the study group compared the brain activity synchronization between 28 subjects with AUD and 36 healthy controls using hyper scanning with fNIRS. They found that inter-brain synchronization was reduced in the right middle frontal cortex in the AUD group, suggesting impaired social cognition. This inter-brain synchronization reduction correlated with higher impulsivity. This study may shed light on the neural basis of social deficits in AUD and may inform future interventions.
