Background: Imaging techniques have been in widespread use in the scientific community
for more than 3 decades. They facilitate noninvasive, in vivo studies of the human brain in …

The chronic, excessive consumption of alcohol results in significant modification of selective
neural systems of the brain structure, physiology, and function. Quantitative MR structural …

Background: Structural brain damage, especially to white matter, is well documented in
chronic alcohol abuse. There is also evidence for brain metabolic abnormalities in this …

The use of Positron emission tomography (PET) to study the effects of acute and chronic
alcohol on the human brain has enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms underlying …

Neuroimaging studies have dramatically advanced our understanding of the neurochemical
basis of alcohol dependence, a major public health issue. In this paper, we review the …

To study alcohol's effects on the structure and function of the brain in living human beings,
researchers can use various imaging techniques. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a …
