Fein G, Meyerhoff D, Weiner M
Alcohol Health Res World . 2019 Dec; 19(4):306-314. PMID: 31798078
Magnetic resonance (MR) technology produces data on brain structure and activity without relying on radiation or invasive surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) creates images, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) produces...

Fein G, Price M, Cardenas V
Alcohol . 2018 Mar; 68:81-89. PMID: 29529507
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is often a complicating comorbid factor in alcohol use disorders and substance use disorders. Previous work showed that abstinent alcoholics endorsed lifetime and current symptoms of...

Cardenas V, Price M, Fein G
Neuroimage Clin . 2017 Nov; 17:481-490. PMID: 29159061
Recent work suggests that faulty co-activation or synchrony of multiple brain regions comprising "networks," or an imbalance between opposing brain networks, is important in alcoholism. Previous studies showed higher fMRI...

Fein G, Cardenas V
Alcohol . 2017 Aug; 63:33-42. PMID: 28847380
In two studies of long-term abstinent alcoholics (LTAAs), we found that about 17% had a current major depressive disorder (MDD). We tested the hypothesis that LTAAs with a current MDD...

Fein G, Camchong J, Cardenas V, Stenger A
Alcohol . 2017 Mar; 59:17-25. PMID: 28262184
Alcoholism is characterized by a lack of control over an impulsive and compulsive drive toward excessive alcohol consumption despite significant negative consequences; our previous work demonstrated that successful abstinence is...

Dalvie S, Brooks S, Cardenas V, Fein G, Ramesar R, Stein D
Acta Neuropsychiatr . 2016 Aug; 29(4):252-258. PMID: 27498914
Objective: Brain structure differences and adolescent alcohol dependence both show substantial heritability. However, exactly which genes are responsible for brain volume variation in adolescents with substance abuse disorders are currently...

Fein G
Neuropsychol Rev . 2015 Nov; 25(4):456-75. PMID: 26590836
We review our clinical studies of psychiatric comorbidity in short-term and long-term abstinent and in treatment naïve alcoholics (STAA, LTAA and TNA). TNA ypically have less severe alcoholism than treated...

Dalvie S, King A, Fein G, Ramesar R, Stein D
Metab Brain Dis . 2015 Oct; 31(1):75-80. PMID: 26446021
Alcoholism has an estimated heritability of between 40 and 60% and it is thought that several genes of small effect may contribute to the risk of developing this disorder. Studies...

Fein G, Cardenas V
Alcohol Res . 2015 Aug; 37(1):125-41. PMID: 26259093
Alcoholism is characterized by a lack of control over excessive alcohol consumption despite significant negative consequences. This impulsive and compulsive behavior may be related to functional abnormalities within networks of...

Alcohol . 2015 Jun; 49(5):435-52. PMID: 26074423
This article highlights the research presentations at the satellite symposium on "Brain Pathways to Recovery from Alcohol Dependence" held at the 2013 Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting. The purpose of...
