Excited to share our new paper on social reward learning in alcohol use disorder (AUD) in Translational Psychiatry! doi.org/10.1038/s41398-025-0… w/ @B_Lindstroem, Lotfi Khemiri, Nitya Jayaram-Lindström, & @EmotionLabKI. Across two separate samples, we examined whether individuals with AUD show deficits in prosocial learning—learning to maximize rewards for others. Surprisingly, reward learning was intact in AUD and unrelated to reduced prosocial behavior. Using computational modeling, we found comparable learning mechanisms in AUD and healthy controls, suggesting that social deficits in AUD are not driven by impaired reward learning. These findings highlight the need to explore alternative mechanisms behind social dysfunction in AUD.
