STUDY 1 METHODS Thirty-two healthy volunteers, family history positive to alcoholism (FHP, n = 16) and family history negative (FHN, n = 16) attended two laboratory sessions during which alcoh...
متن کاملFamily history of alcoholism and hypothalamic opioidergic activity.
BACKGROUND This study was designed to assess whether nonalcoholic offspring from families with a high density of alcohol-dependent individuals have altered endogenous central nervous system opioid activity.
