The last step in these analyses focused on searching for commonalities among the baseline BOLD response contrasts for the ROIs that correlated with adverse alcohol outcomes. In Table 4, columns 1–3 describe the four baseline conditions and related ROIs that were entered into the regression analysis in Table 3. Columns 4 and 5 present the baseline BOLD response contrast characteristics for those brain regions listed in the original Paulus et al. (2012). As shown in columns 4 and 5, in all relevant baseline conditions low LR subjects demonstrated baseline BOLD response contrasts that were higher for placebo than for alcohol, while for high LRs none demonstrated this pattern.
