Age dependent neural correlates of inhibition and control mechanisms in moderate to heavy drinkers

Background: Long-term, heavy alcohol consumption has been associated with impairments in control over alcohol use, but whether this extends to other areas of cognitive and behavioral control such as response inhibition remains unclear. Understanding individual differences in the neural correlates of...
