Aging, HIV infection, and alcohol exert synergist effects on regional thalamic volumes resulting in functional impairment
Regional thalamic volumetry detected normal aging declines, differential and accelerated volume losses in HIV, relations between age-related nuclear and performance declines, and exacerbation of volume declines in comorbid alcohol use disorder contributing to functional deficits.

Anterior and Posterior Thalamic Nuclei Correlates of Memory, Attention, and Motor Processes in HIV Infection and Alcohol Use Disorder Comorbidity
Here, we examined relations between thalamic subregions (anterior, ventral, medial, and posterior) and neuropsychological functions (attention/working memory, executive functioning, episodic memory, and motor skills) in relation to HIV and alcohol use disorder.

Frontal cortical volume deficits as enduring evidence of childhood abuse in community adults with AUD and HIV infection comorbidity
Here, we examined the neural and behavioral correlates of childhood trauma history in alcohol use disorder (AUD), HIV infection (HIV), and their comorbidity (AUD+HIV).
