Binge drinking is associated with higher cortisol and lower hippocampal and prefrontal gray matter volume: Prospective association with future alcohol intake
BACKGROUND: Cortisol is a significant driver of the biological stress response that is potently activated by acute alcohol intake and increased with binge drinking. Binge drinking is associated with negative social and health consequences and risk of developing alcohol use disorder (AUD). Both corti...

description | BACKGROUND: Cortisol is a significant driver of the biological stress response that is potently activated by acute alcohol intake and increased with binge drinking. Binge drinking is associated with negative social and health consequences and risk of developing alcohol use disorder (AUD). Both cortisol levels and AUD are also associated with changes in hippocampal and prefrontal regions. However, no previous research has assessed structural gray matter volume (GMV) and cortisol concurrently to examine BD effects on hippocampal and prefrontal GMV and cortisol, and their prospective relationship to future alcohol intake. METHODS: Individuals who reported binge drinking (BD: N = 55) and demographically matched non-binge moderate drinkers (MD: N = 58) were enrolled and scanned using high-resolution structural MRI. Whole brain voxel-based morphometry was used to quantify regional GMV. In a second phase, 65% of the sample volunteered to participate in prospective daily assessment of alcohol intake for 30 days post-scanning. RESULTS: Relative to MD, BD showed significantly higher cortisol and smaller GMV in regions including hippocampus, dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), prefrontal and supplementary motor, primary sensory and posterior parietal cortex (FWE, p < 0.05). GMV in bilateral dlPFC and motor cortices were negatively associated with cortisol levels, and smaller GMV in multiple PFC regions was associated with more subsequent drinking days in BD. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate neuroendocrine and structural dysregulation associated with BD relative to MD. Notably, BD-associated lower GMV regions were those involved in stress, memory and cognitive control, with lower GMV in cognitive control and motor regions also predicting higher levels of future alcohol intake in BD. |
