Brain white matter (WM) tracts, playing a vital role in the communication between brain
regions, undergo important maturational changes during adolescence and young …

A number of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have reported substantial white matter
(WM) abnormalities in alcohol-dependent patients. These studies were usually performed in …

Introduction Quantitative fiber tracking with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a new
approach for assessing deficits in the microstructural integrity of white matter circuits that …

To determine the dynamics of white matter vulnerability to excessive alcohol consumption,
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used in an animal model of alcohol exposure …

Chronic marijuana use during adolescence is frequently comorbid with heavy alcohol
consumption and associated with CNS alterations, yet the influence of early cannabis and …

Background Cigarette smoking continues to be the leading cause of preventable morbidity
and mortality in China and other countries. Previous studies have demonstrated gray matter …

Objective The objective of this study is to examine white matter microstructure using diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) in a sample of adolescents with alcohol use disorders (AUD) and no …

Introduction: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are present in the cerebral white matter (WM).
We hypothesized that WM response to nicotine can be detected by diffusion tensor imaging …

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

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