To explore how nucleus accumbens activation relates to alcohol use trajectories in young adults with a family history of alcohol use disorder.
Examined intertemporal decision-making and nucleus accumbens activation.
Monitored alcohol use patterns in young adults with family histories of alcohol use disorder.
Showed significant correlation between nucleus accumbens activation and increased alcohol use.
Highlighted that family history contributes to heightened risk for alcohol misuse.

Resumen

Our results demonstrate that nucleus accumbens function may be a key mechanism by which family history increases risk for alcohol misuse and AUD.
