Alcohol’s Effects on the Brain: Neuroimaging Results in …
MR spectroscopy (MRS) allows quantification of several metabolites that shed light on brain biochemical alterations caused by alcoholism. This article focuses on MRI, DTI, and MRS findings in neurological disorders that commonly co-occur with alcoholism, including Wernicke’s encephalopathy, Korsakoff’s syndrome, and hepatic encephalopathy.
Neuroimaging Findings in Alcohol-Related Encephalopathies
Neuroimaging represents a useful tool in depicting alcohol-related brain damage. Accurate knowledge of the neuroimaging findings can lead to correct diagnosis and treatment. Alcohol-related encephalopathies may share common anatomic regions and thus seem to represent a continuum more than distinct pathologic entities.

Alcohol consumption and MRI markers of brain structure and …
In this large observational cohort study, alcohol consumption was associated with multiple structural and functional MRI markers in mid- to late-life. 1. Introduction. Moderate alcohol consumption is very common yet conflicting associations with late-life brain and cognitive outcomes have been reported (Visontay et al., 2021).
