Abstract

Highlights: [•] Pre-existing frontal brain volume differences were found in future drinkers. [•] Adolescent drinkers showed greater brain volume reduction post-alcohol initiation. [•] Volume reduction occurred in subcortical and temporal regions. [•] QUARC is a useful tool for quantifying longitudinal brain volume changes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
