Article Synopsis
  • Cortical differences in thickness, folding, and complexity may indicate changes in synaptic pruning and myelination, particularly in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD).
  • A study compared 69 males with OUD to 25 non-drug-using controls, finding greater sulcal depth and lower gyrification index in specific brain areas associated with OUD.
  • Early initiation and longer duration of opioid use correlated with significant changes in cortical thickness, suggesting these factors may contribute to structural brain abnormalities.
