| Abstract:"Objective: Previous studies have suggested age-related structural brain changes in alcoholism that differ from effects in normal aging. However, the functional correlates of this relationship have not been well characterized. In this study, we examined the interaction between age and alcoholism on FMRI response during a spatial working memory task, as this task has been shown to be sensitive to alcoholism-related brain injury across a wide age range. |
