reward structures during resting state, as found in the current study, may also indicate a vulnerability to relapse in individuals with a history of SUD [96]. Taken together, these findings lend support to the findings of the current study, that individuals with a long history of alcohol use continue to manifest network abnormalities across the reward regions, in addition to the previously reported aberrations in DMN, even after prolonged abstinence from alcohol consumption.
