Interaction between behavioral inhibition and neural alcohol cue-reactivity in ADHD and alcohol use disorder

Further, it is crucial for patients with comorbid AUD and ADHD to take into account not only reduced cognitive control over behavioral inhibition but also simultaneously heightened alcohol cue-reactivity.
