Methods: Data were collected as part of an epidemiological cohort study on the outcome of early risk factors followed since birth. At age 19 years, 268 young adults (126 males, 142 females) were genotyped for PER2 rs56013859 and were administered a 45-day alcohol timeline follow-back interview and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Life stress was assessed as the number of severe negative life events during the past four years reported in a questionnaire and validated by interview. Results: Individuals with the minor G allele of rs56013859 were found to be less engaged in alcohol use, drinking at only 72\% of the days compared to homozygotes for the major A allele.

Moreover, neuronal alterations of the dopaminergic reward system have been associated with alcohol abuse or addiction. This study aimed to clarify the impact of PSFD on neuronal characteristics of reward processing linked to alcohol-related problems. One hundred sixty-eight healthy young adults from a prospective study covering 25 years participated in a monetary incentive delay task measured with simultaneous EEG-fMRI. PSFD was determined according to the age at menarche or Tanner stage of pubertal development, respectively. Alcohol-related problems in early adulthood were assessed with the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). During reward anticipation, decreased fMRI activation of the frontal cortex and increased preparatory EEG activity (contingent negative variation) occurred with pubertal compared to postpubertal first alcohol intake. Moreover, alcohol-related problems during early adulthood were increased in pubertal compared to postpubertal beginners, which was mediated by neuronal activation of the right medial frontal gyrus. At reward delivery, increased fMRI activation of the left caudate and higher feedback-related EEG negativity were detected in pubertal compared to postpubertal beginners. Together with animal findings, these results implicate PSFD as a potential modulator of psychopathology, involving altered reward anticipation.

Childhood adversity was assessed using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and by a standardized parent interview yielding an index of family adversity. A significant interaction between genotype and childhood adversity on cortisol response to stress was demonstrated for exposure to childhood maltreatment as assessed by retrospective self-report (CTQ), but not for prospectively ascertained objective family adversity. Severity of childhood maltreatment was significantly associated with attenuated cortisol levels among carriers of the rs1360780 CC genotype, while no such effect emerged in carriers of the T allele. These findings point towards the functional involvement of FKBP5 in long-term alterations of neuroendocrine stress regulation related to childhood maltreatment, which have been suggested to represent a premorbid risk or resilience factor in the context of stress-related disorders.

The young adults completed questionnaires to obtain information about the occurrence of stressful life events during the past 4 years and current drinking habits. In addition, alcohol use under conditions of negative states was assessed with the Inventory of Drinking Situations. Results: The probability of young adults' alcohol use in situations characterized by unpleasant emotions was significantly increased the earlier they had initiated the use of alcohol, even when controlling for current drinking habits and stressful life events. Similar results were obtained for the age at first drunkenness. Conclusions: The findings strengthen the hypothesis that alcohol experiences during early adolescence facilitate drinking to regulate negative affect as an adverse coping strategy which may represent the starting point of a vicious circle comprising drinking to relieve stress and increased stress as a consequence of drinking.}, language = {en} } @article{BuchmannZohselBlomeyeretal.2014, author = {Buchmann, Arlette F. and Zohsel, Katrin and Blomeyer, Dorothea and Hohm, Erika and Hohmann, Sarah and Jennen-Steinmetz, Christine and Treutlein, Jens and Becker, Katja and Banaschewski, Tobias and Schmidt, Martin H. and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Brandeis, Daniel and Poustka, Luise and Zimmermann, Ulrich S. and Laucht, Manfred}, title = {Interaction between prenatal stress and dopamine D4 receptor genotype in predicting aggression and cortisol levels in young adults}, series = {Psychopharmacology}, volume = {231}, journal = {Psychopharmacology}, number = {16}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0033-3158}, doi = {10.1007/s00213-014-3484-7}, pages = {3089 -- 3097}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Considerable evidence suggests that genetic factors combine with environmental influences to impact on the development of aggressive behavior. A genetic variant that has repeatedly been reported to render individuals more sensitive to the presence of adverse experiences, including stress exposure during fetal life, is the seven-repeat allele of the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene. The present investigation concentrated on the interplay of prenatal maternal stress and DRD4 genotype in predicting self-reported aggression in young adults. As disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system has been discussed as a pathophysiological pathway to aggression, cortisol stress reactivity was additionally examined. As part of an epidemiological cohort study, prenatal maternal stress was assessed by maternal interview 3 months after childbirth. Between the ages of 19 and 23 years, 298 offspring (140 males, 158 females) completed the Young Adult Self-Report to measure aggressive behavior and were genotyped for the DRD4 gene. At 19 years, 219 participants additionally underwent the Trier Social Stress Test to determine cortisol reactivity. Extending earlier findings with respect to childhood antisocial behavior, the results revealed that, under conditions of higher prenatal maternal stress, carriers of the DRD4 seven-repeat allele displayed more aggression in adulthood (p = 0.032). Moreover, the same conditions which seemed to promote aggression were found to predict attenuated cortisol secretion (p = 0.028). This is the first study to indicate a long-term impact of prenatal stress exposure on the cortisol stress response depending on DRD4 genotype.}, language = {en} } @misc{DaigMahlbergSchroederetal.2010, author = {Daig, Isolde and Mahlberg, Richard and Schroeder, Franziska and Gudlowski, Yehonala and Wrase, Jana and Wertenauer, Florian and Bschor, Tom and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Heinz, Andreas and Kienast, Thorsten}, title = {Low effective organizational strategies in visual memory performance of unmedicated alcoholics during early abstinence}, issn = {1860 - 5214}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{DaigMahlbergStethinetal.2012, author = {Daig, Isolde and Mahlberg, Richard and Stethin, Julia and Shroeder, Franziska and Wrase, Jana and Knoll, Nina and Bschor, Tom and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Heinz, Andreas and Kienast, Thorsten}, title = {Decreased verbal learning but not recognition performance in alcohol-dependent individuals during early abstinence}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @misc{DeimannKastnerKollerEsseretal.2010, author = {Deimann, Pia and Kastner-Koller, Ursula and Esser, G{\"u}nter and H{\"a}nsch, Sylvana}, title = {FRAKIS Fragebogen zur fr{\"u}hkindlichen Sprachentwicklung : FRAKIS (Standardform) und FRAKIS-K (Kurzform)}, year = {2010}, language = {de} } @article{DinterJoergPolowczykHerrleetal.1997, author = {Dinter-J{\"o}rg, Monika and Polowczyk, M. and Herrle, Johannes and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Laucht, Manfred}, title = {Mannheimer Beurteilungsskalen zur Analyse der Mutter-Kind-Interaktion im Kleinkindalter}, year = {1997}, language = {de} } @article{DopfnerEsser2004, author = {Dopfner, M. and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Guidelines for assessment and psychotherapy}, issn = {0942-5403}, year = {2004}, abstract = {This editorial summarizes the currant state of development of guidelines for the assessment and treatment of mental disorders in children and adolescents.

Ihr Vorteil fuer Forschung und Praxis ist, dass sie "... leicht kommunizierbare, replizierbare, mathematisch zu verarbeitende Ergebnisse liefern" (S. 160). Mit Hilfe von Fragebogenverfahren kann z.B. oekonomisch erfasst werden, ob ueberhaupt eine psychische Stoerung vorliegt, die dann genauer untersucht werden kann (Poustka 1988).

Are there specific harbingers of hyperkinetic disorders for the group concerned? Methods: In terms of their developmental risk load at the age of 2 years, 26 primary school children with hyperkinetic disorders were compared to 241 healthy primary school children, as well as to 25 children of the same age with emotional disturbances and 30 children of the same age with socially disruptive behavior. Results: A significant combination of predictors of later hyperkinetic disorders at primary school age proved to be increased fidgetiness and irritability, as well as a reduced language comprehension, at the age of two.
