Abstract
⺠Voxel-based meta-analysis of structural MRI studies in stimulant-dependent individuals. ⺠Stimulant drug dependence is associated with reduced gray matter in the prefrontal cortex. ⺠Prolonged abuse of stimulant drugs seems to exacerbate this neuropathology. ⺠Familial vulnerability for addiction has been shown to involve abnormalities in limbic-striatal structures (i.e., putamen, amygdala, and hippocampus).
