The original publication of the article has errors that need to be corrected as follows:

  1. In the Results section, the second and third sentences of the second paragraph of the “Associations between subcortical volume and cigarette pack-years” should read as: “These relationships were detected for left accumbens (rP = −0.03, p = 0.01; covE = −0.10, p = 0.01) and left pallidum (rP =−0.08, p = 0.01; covE = −0.07, p = 0.03). Unique environmental factors involved in higher levels of cigarette pack-years were also associated with decreased volumes for these regions, as indicated by the moderate environmental correlations between smoking and left accumbens (rE = −0.24, 95 % CI = −0.4; −0.05) as well as left pallidum (rE = −0.21, 95 % CI = −0.38; −0.03).”

  2. The Table 1 was incorrect in the original publication and it has been corrected in this erratum:
