    Boris Schiffer
    Department of Forensic Psychiatry, University Hospital Essen, University of Duisburg Essen, Germany
    Neuroimage 41:80-91. 2008

    Boris Schiffer
    Department of Forensic Psychiatry, University of Duisburg Essen, Essen, Germany

    Boris Schiffer
    Department of Forensic Psychiatry, University of Duisburg Essen, Germany
    Arch Gen Psychiatry 68:1039-49. 2011
    ..Thus, alterations in gray matter (GM) volume that have been reported to be correlates of violent behavior and/or psychopathy may instead be related to lifelong substance use disorders (SUDs)...

    Boris Schiffer
    Department of Forensic Psychiatry, University of Duisburg Essen, Virchow str 174, Essen, Germany
    Brain 133:3093-103. 2010
