From nine existing studies, they gathered data on the brain structure of 165 individuals with gambling disorder and 159 healthy controls. As per findings, individuals with gambling disorder display skewed distribution of OFC sulcogyral patterns, with a higher prevalence of Type II pattern vs healthy controls. The results suggest the possible value of pattern Type II as a premorbid structural brain marker of the disease.
