Finally, analyses were repeated for stimulating and rewarding alcohol responses at rising and declining BrAC limbs, i.e., 30 and 120 minutes net change scores, for each phase (Supplemental Figure S2, Supplemental Tables S2 and S3). Results showed that the magnitude of responses and the differences between LD and HD and across AUD subgroups were largely similar during the rising limb as they were during peak BrAC at 60 minutes. At the declining limb, stimulating and rewarding responses were lower in magnitude than at the earlier time points but heightened responses remained in HD, particularly for wanting in the high AUD subgroup.
