Brain imaging technology has allowed researchers to conduct rigorous studies of the
dynamic course of alcoholism through periods of drinking, sobriety, and relapse and to gain …

Impaired emotion regulation contributes to the development and severity of substance use
disorders (substance disorders). This review summarizes the literature on alterations in …

Heavy alcohol consumption has been associated with brain atrophy, neuronal loss, and
poorer white matter fiber integrity. However, there is conflicting evidence on whether light-to …

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

Long-term chronic alcoholism is associated with disparate and widespread residual
consequences for brain functioning and behavior, and alcoholics suffer a variety of cognitive …

Background Neuroimaging studies reveal structural and functional including neurochemical
brain abnormalities in individuals with substance use disorders compared to healthy …

Aims: Alcohol-dependent people who are middle-aged or older have a widespread loss of
cortical grey and white matter, particularly in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). We examine if brain …

Over the last quarter century, researchers have peered into the living human brain to
develop and refine mechanistic accounts of alcohol-induced behavior, as well as …

This article provides an overview of recent advances in understanding the effects of alcohol
use disorders (AUD) on the brain from the perspective of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Background Alcohol dependence exacts a toll on brain white matter microstructure, which
has the potential of repair with prolonged sobriety. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) enables in …
