Correlations (Spearman's rho) between baseline regional NAA levels and posttreatment measures of alcohol consumption in resumers

Variable	DLPFC	ACC	Insula	SCR	Vermis
Duration of abstinence, days	.09	.57*	.31	.27	.35
No. of drinkings days	−.11	−.09	−.49*	−.46*	−.34
Average no. of drinks per day	−.40	−.48*	.08	−.48*	−.03
Total no. of drinks	−.48*	−.31	−.59*	−.75*	.17

Notes: NAA= N-acetylaspartate; duration of abstinence = number of consecutive abstinent days from baseline assessment to first drink; DLPFC = dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; ACC = anterior cingulate cortex; SCR = superior corona radiata.
