The aim of this review is to give an outline of recent findings made with various imaging tools that contribute to a better understanding of AUD. Initial sections describe reports by imaging modality: structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The final section summarizes findings made in preclinical rodent models and discusses the relevance of such models to human studies.
