Increased decision latency in alcohol use disorder reflects altered resting-state synchrony in the anterior salience network

Abstract Increased decision latency in alcohol use disorder (AUD) has been generally explained in terms of psychomotor slowing. Recent results suggest that AUD patients’ slowed decision-making might rather reflect alterations in the neural circuitry underlying the engagement of controlled processing...
