Volumetric and cortical thickness alterations in alcohol dependence: evidence of accelerated brain aging and clinical correlations

Alcohol dependence is marked by diffuse brain atrophy and accelerated brain aging. Structural alterations correspond to addiction severity, craving, and mood symptoms, highlighting brain-predicted age as a potential biomarker of cumulative alcohol-related neurodegeneration.
