development and maintenance of alcohol addiction [58,59]. For instance, impulsivity observed in addicted individuals may result from a failure or dysfunction of the executive system and both domains may underlie distinct yet interactive brain systems [60]. Therefore, it is essential for the FC studies on AUD to include features from these domains (i.e., neuropsychological and impulsivity measures), which may have implications for diagnosis and/or preventive strategies. Therefore, the present study has been designed to perform a predictive model based on the RF classification of AUD using neural measures such as fMRI-based DMN FC together with relevant neuropsychological (i.e., executive functioning, and visual-spatial working memory) and personality (i.e., impulsivity) predictors.
