Abstract
espanolLas conductas complejas se relacionan con la actividad de los lobulos frontales del cerebro humano y el consumo de alcohol con sintomatologia frontal. La evidencia cientifica indica que el cerebro adolescente es mas sensible a los efectos neurotoxicos del alcohol que los cerebros adultos. Se propone un estudio de casos para evaluar las funciones ejecutivas desde una perspectiva ecologica. El objetivo fue observar la correspondencia entre la autopercepcion de jovenes con diferente patron de consumo de alcohol sobre sus funciones ejecutivas en tareas cotidianas (evaluacion sujetocentrica) y la ejecucion en tareas administradas en situaciones de laboratorio (evaluacion externa). Se estudio a 12 jovenes entre 16 y 19 anos que representaban tres grupos de consumo (intensivo = 5; moderado = 4 y control = 3). Para la evaluacion se empleo el cuestionario de evaluacion de consumo intensivo de alcohol, el inventario de impulsividad de Dickman, la escala de evaluacion de la conducta prefrontal y la ejecucion en 8 tareas de la bateria neuropsicologica BANFE. Los resultados de las pruebas neuropsicologicas no permiten establecer diferencias entre jovenes con distintos patrones de consumo. Los instrumentos autoaplicados sugieren que los casos clasificados en el grupo CIA difieren negativamente de los moderados y controles, indicando una peor capacidad de inhibicion y autorregulacion emocional en situaciones sociales. La capacidad de autorregulacion de la conducta socioemocional (soportada por los circuitos ventromediales) explica una caracteristica fundamental de las funciones ejecutivas, que puede no ser evidente o no interferir en la ejecucion de tareas cognitivas ajenas a la cotidianidad. EnglishComplex behaviors are related to the activity of the frontal lobes of the human brain and alcohol consumption is related to frontal symptomatology.
