Background Alcohol research may benefit from controlled and validated picture sets. We have constructed the Amsterdam Beverage Picture Set (ABPS), which was designed for alcohol in general cognitive bias measurement modification particular. Here, we first formulate a position on stimulus validity that prescribes alcohol-containing pictures, compared to nonalcohol-containing should induce stronger urge drink heavy drinkers than light drinkers. Because perceptually simple might biases but...
Abstract Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a severely debilitating condition which markedly restricts activity and function of affected people. Since the beginning COVID-19 pandemic ME/CFS related to post-acute (PACS) can be diagnosed in subset patients presenting with persistent 6 months after mostly mild SARS-CoV-2 infection by fulfillment Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC 2003). Induction autoimmunity viral mechanism under intensive investigation. In...
Background While hemispheric specialization of language processing is well established, lateralization emotion still under debate. Several conflicting hypotheses have been proposed, including right hemisphere hypothesis, valence asymmetry hypothesis and region-specific hypothesis. However, experimental evidence for these remains inconclusive, partly because direct comparisons between hemispheres are scarce. Methods The present fMRI study systematically investigated functional during...
Cognitive biases, including implicit memory associations are thought to play an important role in the development of addictive behaviors. The aim present study was investigate affective heavy cannabis users. Implicit positive-arousal, sedation, and negative towards were measured with three Single Category Association Tests (SC-IAT's) compared between 59 users 89 controls. Moreover, we investigated relationship these explicit expectancies, subjective craving, use, related problems. Results...
Baclofen is a new and promising pharmacological compound for the treatment of alcohol dependence (AD). Although several randomised trials found reduction craving higher abstinence rates with low high doses baclofen, others failed to show positive effects. In this case study, successful patient AD daily 120 mg baclofen described. addition decrease in use, we observed cessation stuttering during reoccurrence following discontinuation, after reinstatement treatment. Based on observation, direct...
Background: Baclofen has shown promise in the treatment of alcohol dependence. However, its precise (neuro-) psychological working mechanism is still under debate. Aims: This study aimed to get a better understanding baclofen’s by examining effect baclofen on cognitive biases. It was hypothesized that baclofen, compared placebo, would lead weaker Furthermore, given suggested anxiolytic we expected anxiety moderate this effect. Methods: From larger randomized clinical trial (RCT) with 151...
