Study Summary

Individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) will complete one functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanning visit. Prior to the scan, individuals will receive a nasal spray of either 24 international units (IU) of oxytocin (OT), or placebo (PBO). During the scan, they will perform the Montreal Imaging Stress Task (MIST), a social stress task. Subjective craving and anxiety data will be collected.

Primary Outcome

Corticolimbic functional connectivity will be determined using psychophysiological interaction (PPI) modeling. The left and right amygdala will serve as seed regions. Connectivity of each seed region with the homologous orbitofrontal cortex region will be represented as a parameter estimate, yielding one parameter estimate for right amygdala-right orbitofrontal connectivity and one parameter estimate for left amygdala-left orbitofrontal connectivity per subject.
