Meta-analysis of grey matter changes and their behavioral characterization in patients with alcohol use disorder

Abstract Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is associated with reductions in grey matter (GM) volume which can lead to changes in numerous brain functions. The results of previous studies on altered GM in AUD differ considerably in the regions identified. Three meta-analyses carried out between 2014 and 201...
