“…Furthermore, substance use disorders and in particular alcohol-use dependence (another GABAergic dependence), have been associated with substantial alterations in gray matter regions that are often linked to impulse control (i.e., orbitalfrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, medial frontal gyrus, and insula) (19)(20)(21)(22)(23). Moreover, alterations in white matter tracts implicated in reward processing and inhibitory control have been observed in both substance use disorders and conditions involving altered states of consciousness (i.e., inferior frontaloccipital fasciculus, IFOF; inferior longitudinal fasciculus, ILF; uncinate fasciculus, UF; cortical spinal tract, CST; internal capsule, corona radiate, superior longitudinal fasciculus, SLF; cingulum; or corpus callosum, CC) (19,20,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29). Such alterations might be the structural correlate underlying the high levels of impulsivity that are often comorbid with these conditions (2,19,20,(22)(23)(24)(25)30).…”
