and cognition and may have implications for the likelihood of high-risk drinking in response to alcohol cues. For example, a recent resting state fMRI study found that drinking was associated with SG differences in thalamic connectivity in relation to AUDIT scores (Zhornitsky et al., 2018). In men, connectivity between thalamus and salience and executive control regions correlated with AUDIT scores (Zhornitsky et al., 2018). In women, thalamic connectivity to posterior cingulate cortex correlated with AUDIT scores (Zhornitsky et al., 2018).
