“…differences in these electrophysiological components linked to inhibition and execution responses (Watson et al, 2014(Watson et al, , 2016. The present study also failed to find differences in Go-and NoGo-P3 responses, i.e., these components seemed not to be significantly affected by BD, which is contrary to what was observed in a previous study from our laboratory with a different sample (López-Caneda et al, 2012).…”

Findings are congruent with event-related oscillation studies showing reduced delta and/or theta oscillations in alcoholics during Go/NoGo tasks. Thus, BDs appear to show disruptions in neural oscillations linked to motor inhibition and execution similar to those observed in alcohol-dependent subjects. Finally, these results are the first to evidence that oscillatory brain activity may be a sensitive indicator of underlying brain anomalies in young BDs, which could complement standard event-related potential measures.

“…However, two studies did not observe such a deficit in heavy social drinkers (Adams et al, 2013;Nederkoorn et al, 2009), whereas detoxified alcohol-dependent patients showed impaired response inhibition towards alcohol-related cues after 19.7 (±2.7) days of abstinence (Noël et al, 2007). However, several ERP studies revealed early cerebral dysfunctions related to alcohol consumption before any detectable behavioral impairment in social drinkers (Bijl et al, 2005;Nichols and Martin, 1996;Oddy and Barry, 2009), and in binge drinkers (López-Caneda et al, 2013Maurage et al, 2009Maurage et al, , 2012Watson et al, 2014). To our knowledge, only one electrophysiological study assessed the inhibition abilities toward alcohol-related information (Petit et al, 2012a).…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oAlcohol addictive behaviors are associated with a combination of deficits in executive functions, such as a weak response inhibition, and potent automatic appetitive responses to alcohol-related cues. The aim of the present study was to investigate behavioral responses and event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with specific response inhibition for alcohol-related cues. Thirty participants (15 heavy drinkers and 15 light drinkers) took part in the study. Response inhibition was assessed by a classical letter Go/No-go task and by a modified alcohol Go/No-go task. Participants were also classified as high and low alcohol avoiders. Results showed that heavy drinkers made more false alarms in the letter Go/No-go task. In the alcohol Go/No-go task, an absence of N200 amplitude anteriorization was found in heavy drinkers as compared to light drinkers. Participants with a high level of alcohol avoidance exhibited more false alarms, and higher N200 amplitude for the No-go trials as compared to the Go trials for alcohol-related cues. Higher P300 amplitude was observed in low alcohol avoiders for No-go as compared to Go trials. Therefore, a context involving alcohol-related cues disturbed inhibition capacities of high alcohol avoiders. These results suggest that the level of alcohol avoidance must be taken into account in studies investigating alcohol-related cognitive biases.

“…Although comparatively much less studied, electrophysiological measures of brain activity also appear to be sensitive to the BD pattern (López-Caneda et al, 2014a ; Petit et al, 2014b ). As such, anomalous brain responses have been documented in BD youths during cognitive tasks using event-related potentials (ERPs) and event-related oscillations (EROs; Crego et al, 2009 ; Maurage et al, 2012 ; Smith and Mattick, 2013 ; Petit et al, 2014a ; Watson et al, 2014 ; López-Caneda et al, 2017 ). Despite its well documented potential for detecting neurofunctional anomalies in chronic alcoholics, brain activity during task-free resting states has been virtually unaddressed in the BD population.…”

Background: Previous studies have reported anomalous resting brain activity in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of alcoholics, often reflected as increased power in the beta and theta frequency bands. The effects of binge drinking, the most common pattern of excessive alcohol consumption during adolescence and youth, on brain activity at rest is still poorly known. In this study, we sought to assess the pattern of resting-state EEG oscillations in college-aged binge drinkers (BDs).Methods: Resting-state brain activity during eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions was recorded from 60 channels in 80 first-year undergraduate students (40 controls and 40 BDs). Cortical sources activity of EEG rhythms was estimated using exact Low-Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (eLORETA) analysis.Results: EEG-source localization analysis revealed that BDs showed, in comparison with controls, significantly higher intracranial current density in the beta frequency band over the right temporal lobe (parahippocampal and fusiform gyri) during eyes-open resting state as well as higher intracranial current density in the theta band over the bilateral occipital cortex (cuneus and lingual gyrus) during eyes-closed resting condition.Conclusions: These findings are in line with previous results observing increased beta and/or theta power following chronic or heavy alcohol drinking in alcohol-dependent subjects and BDs. Increased tonic beta and theta oscillations are suggestive of an augmented cortical excitability and of potential difficulties in the information processing capacity in young BDs. Furthermore, enhanced EEG power in these frequency bands may respond to a neuromaturational delay as a result of excessive alcohol consumption during this critical brain developmental period.

Abstract: Overall, these data suggest that binge drinking and AmCB use are associated with P3 alterations, but the specific effects may differ for individuals with different patterns of risky alcohol use.
