Altered Emotion‐Modulated Startle in Young Adults With a Family History of Alcoholism

Altered Emotion‐Modulated Startle in Young Adults With a Family History of Alcoholism Background: Alcoholism risk may be accompanied by poor regulation of emotions, signaling altered central nervous system processes. This study used the emotion‐modulated startle paradigm to test the hypothesis that young adults with a positive paternal history of alcoholism (FH+), relative to family‐history‐negative persons (FH−), have altered emotional reactivity to environmental cues. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Wiley

Abstract

Background: Alcoholism risk may be accompanied by poor regulation of emotions, signaling altered central nervous system processes. This study used the emotion‐modulated startle paradigm to test the hypothesis that young adults with a positive paternal history of alcoholism (FH+), relative to family‐history‐negative persons (FH−), have altered emotional reactivity to environmental cues.
