Background: Alcohol use in excessive quantities has deleterious effects on brain structure
and behavior in adults and during periods of rapid neurodevelopment, such as prenatally …

Objective: The authors sought evidence for altered adolescent brain growth trajectory
associated with moderate and heavy alcohol use in a large national, multisite, prospective …

Alcohol consumption is commonly initiated during adolescence, but the effects on human
brain development remain unknown. In this multisite study, we investigated the longitudinal …

While adolescent alcohol consumption has been asserted to adversely alter brain
development, research in human adolescents has not yet provided us with sufficient …

Adolescence is an important neurodevelopmental period marked by rapidly escalating rates
of alcohol and drug use. Over the past decade, research has attempted to disentangle pre …

Objective: Heavy alcohol use during adolescence may alter the trajectory of normal brain
development. The authors measured within-subject changes in regional brain morphometry …

Objective: During adolescence, neurobiological maturation occurs concurrently with social
and interpersonal changes, including the initiation of alcohol and other substance use. The …

Background A large proportion of adolescents drink alcohol, with many engaging in high-
risk patterns of consumption, including binge drinking. Here, we systematically review and …

This article reviews the neurocognitive and neuroimaging literature regarding the effect of
alcohol use on human adolescent brain structure and function. Adolescents who engage in …

Introduction It is well established that individuals exposed to alcohol in utero have reduced
cortical grey matter volumes. However, the candidate determinants of these reductions …
