Background We previously reported widespread microstructural deficits of brain white matter
in alcohol-dependent individuals (ALC) compared to light drinkers in a small 1.5 T diffusion …

Background Alterations in white matter microstructure associated with chronic alcohol use
have been demonstrated in previous diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) research. However …

Background Previous neuroimaging studies of recently detoxified alcohol‐dependent
patients (RDA) have found significant loss of white matter integrity associated with the …

Individuals with alcohol use disorders show white matter abnormality relative to normal
samples, but differences in white matter profiles have not yet been investigated as a function …

Background: Postmortem studies report degradation of brain white matter microstructure in
chronic alcoholism, but until recently, in vivo neuroimaging could provide measurement only …

Identification of neural correlates of relapse to alcohol after treatment is clinically important
as it may inform better substance abuse treatment. Few studies have specifically analyzed …

Evidence suggests that alcohol dependence (AD) is associated with microstructural deficits
in white matter, but the relationship with lifetime alcohol exposure and the impact of polydrug …

Background Diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) has been widely used to investigate the
integrity of white matter (WM; indexed by fractional anisotropy [FA]) in alcohol dependence …

Aims In the last years, refined magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) methods
have become available to study microstructural alterations in the human brain. We …

BACKGROUND: Abnormal macrostructural brain abnormalities in both gray matter and
white matter have been reported in cigarette smokers. However, less is known about white …
