with previously reported results (Durazzo et al., 2011; Fein et al., 2002; Mattson et al., 1996; Sullivan et al., 2000). While overall gray and white matter volume variations can be considered a gross measure of structural differences we focus more attention on the cerebellar, caudate and ventricle regions as they may prove more useful for potential future research. For example, specific decreases in cerebella volumes have also been associated with alcohol dependence and schizophrenia (Varnas et al., 2007) and malnutrition (Nicolás et al., 2000).
