The Comparison of Brain Behavioral Activation or Inhibition Systems and Cognitive Functions in Addict & Normal Women
Journal Title: The 1st Annual Meeting of Georgian Center for Neuroscience Research - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 20
Abstract
Introduction: addiction is considered as chronic brain disease that results in severe behavioral and cognitive disorders. Various studies indicate cognitive and behavioral deficits in men, and few studies have examined the role of gender in this area. This study aimed to compare the brain activation/inhibition system (BAS/BIS) in women with and without substance abuse disorder. Method: The present study was a causal-comparative research. A total of 80 individual (40 women with substance use disorder and 40 women without a history of substance use) participated in this study. The convenience sampling method was used. A sociodemographic data form, Carver and White's BIS/BAS scales and Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire were administered for data collection. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. Results: data analysis showed that there was a significant difference in Behavioral Activation System (BAS) and cognitive function between addicted and non-addicted women. Women with substance use disorder showed higher levels of behavioral activation system, weaker performance in Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire than normal group. Also, data analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups at the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the brain behavioral system, personality pattern and cognitive abilities of drug-dependent women differs from that of normal people. These individuals are more susceptible due to the high sensitivity of the behavioral activation system under conditions of probability of punishment and reward. Therefore, biomarkers can be designated as precursors of women’s addiction, and attention to these features and sensitivities is very useful in the prevention and treatment debate.
