Background The presence of morphometric abnormalities of the lateral ventricles, which can
reflect focal or diffuse atrophic changes of nearby brain structures, is not well characterized
in methamphetamine dependence. The current study was aimed to examine the size and
shape alterations of the lateral ventricles in methamphetamine-dependent subjects.
Methods High-resolution brain structural images were obtained from 37 methamphetamine-
dependent subjects and 25 demographically matched healthy individuals. Using a …
