Twenty brain regions that predicted alcohol initiation by age ~18. YELLOW= Cortical thickness regions included in the final model; BLUE= BOLD response regions included in the final model; GREEN (where yellow and blue regions overlapped) = Cortical thickness and BOLD response in the same brain region. In regards to neuroimaging data, thinner cortices (in 13 out of the 15 regions) and less BOLD response contrast (in all 7 regions) predicted initiation of moderate-to-heavy drinking by age 18.
