Probing the neurochemical mechanisms of rTMS for alcohol use disorder: Results from a randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind, crossover, proton MR Spectroscopy study
Abstract With growing knowledge of the neural circuitry involved in alcohol use disorder (AUD), interest in developing neural-circuit-based therapeutic tools, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), for people with AUD has increased. While mounting evidence supports the efficacy of TMS for AUD, multiple dosing protocols are currently under consideration, and little is known about the neurobiological mechanisms through which TMS leads to clinical improvement.

Changed Primary Outcome Between Trial Registration and Publication-Reply
In Reply Kleinman and Ostacher have indicated concern about the choice of end points for our recent clinical trial of gabapentin in those with alcohol use disorder (AUD).1 One concern was the use of the percentage of disialo carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (%dCDT) biomarker of heavy drinking to adjust the verbal reports of drinking provided during the trial, a procedure not detailed a priori. Unfamiliarity with this biomarker of alcohol consumption might underlie some of this concern.
The Abused Inhalant Toluene Impairs Medial Prefrontal Cortex Activity and Risk/Reward Decision-Making during a Probabilistic Discounting Task
Research Articles, Behavioral/Cognitive Kevin M. Braunscheidel, Michael P. Okas, Michaela Hoffman, Patrick J. Mulholland, Stan B. Floresco and John J. Woodward Journal of Neuroscience 13 November 2019, 39 (46) 9207-9220; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1674-19.2019 Abstract Inhalant (e.g., toluene) misuse is linked to behavioral and cognitive deficits in humans, yet preclinical studies of the effect of inhalants on higher-order cognition are limited.

Letter From the Editor
I’ve always focused on skincare and only worn very minimal makeup. I used to be so insecure about my skin because I had [a] considerable [amount of] acne from middle school to the beginning of sophomore year in high school, so I devoted a lot of time [to] researching what factors were triggering my breakouts and how to combat them when they did happen. Since I got into skincare, I’ve felt so much more confident about myself.
