Anterior thalamic volume

1. Alcohol decreases anterior thalamic volume in humans (-2.8 %/year vs -1.8 %/year in controls).

   “Anterior volumes of each HIV group declined significantly faster after age 50 (HIV = -2.4 %/year; HIV + AUD = -2.8 %/year) than that of controls (-1.8 %/year).”

1. Anterior thalamic volume is associated with cognitive function in humans.

   “Declining Attention/Working Memory and Motor Skills performance correlated with Anterior and Posterior volume declines in the HIV + AUD group.”
