Clinical and neural correlates of reward and relief drinking.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support and extend the differentiation of reward from relief/habit-motivated drinking and suggest that differences in dorsal striatal response to conditioned alcohol cues may underlie this distinction. Elucidating neurobiological and clinical differences between these subtypes may facilitate treatment matching and precision medicine for AUD. PMID: 33119924 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
