Caudate gray matter volumes and risk of relapse in Type A alcohol-dependent patients
A 7-year MRI follow-up study
Bibliographic Data
Overall, the present investigation revealed larger caudate nuclei in the relapser AUD patient group both at baseline and at follow-up in the cross-sectional analyses. This finding suggest that a higher caudate volume could be a candidate risk factor of relapse. In patients with specific type A alcohol-dependence, we showed that long-term recovery in fronto-striato-limbic GM and WM volumes occurs during long-term abstinence. These results support the crucial role of frontal circuitry in AUD
