Regionally specific gray matter volume decreases in Alcohol Use Disorder: Implications for non-invasive brain stimulation treatment: Implications for non-invasive brain stimulation treatment

CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with AUD had significantly lower GMV in multiple areas of interest for TMS treatment, however these volumetric reductions did not impact scalp-to-cortex distance. Given previous studies which have shown that TMS-evoked changes in cortical and subcortical activity are dependent on GMV, these data suggest that individuals with AUD may need to be given higher doses of TMS in order to sufficiently modulate the neural circuits of interest.PMID:34120347 | DOI:10.1111/acer.14654
