No differences were found between groups before initiation, suggesting alcohol use was related to aberrant cortical thinning, as opposed to cortical thickness being predictive of initiation of alcohol use. Furthermore, widespread cortical thinning and volume reduction has also been reported in alcohol dependent adults in frontal, temporal, and occipital regions . The goals of this […]

These domains and issues are particularly relevant for the SUD workforce as well
The past two decades have seen significant advances in our understanding of the neuroscience of addiction and its implications for practice [reviewed in ]. However, despite such insights, there is a substantial lag in translating these findings into everyday practice, with few clinicians incorporating neuroscience-informed interventions in their routine practice . We recently launched the […]
E-cigarette use continues to grow among the U.S. adult population
Furthermore, studies using obese Zucker rats demon strated that the CB1 inverse agonist, rimonabant, ame liorated proteinuria in an animal model of obesity induced nephropathy.Treatment with rimonabant partially restored creatinine clearance, reduced glomeru losclerosis and tubular-interstitial fibrosis, and lowered tubular damage and renal hypertrophy.It should also be noted that these findings may have been mediated by the effects of […]
Alcohol and water were delivered through Teflon tubing using a computer-controlled delivery system
Human studies examining CNS sequelae of chronic marijuana use provide evidence for increased metabolism and activation of alternate neural pathways within these regions . Further adverse effects may result from the pharmacological interaction of alcohol and marijuana, where THC has been reported to markedly enhance apoptotic properties of ethanol. In infant rats, administration of THC alone […]
Marijuana use is also associated with atypical neural profiles
Once respondents had been classified into different groups based on the trajectory analysis, we reviewed the characteristics of the respondents assigned to each trajectory to identify between-trajectory differences . We reviewed the characteristics of members of each trajectory; dichotomous variables are reported as percentages, and ordinal variables are reported with means and confidence intervals. Participants […]
Participants are compensated for their time with cash and/ or gift cards
They further suggest that attentional bias to threat may mediate the association between CB1 receptor availability in the amygdala and threat symptomatology, with greater CB1 receptor availability being linked to greater attentional bias to threat that is in turn linked to greater severity of threat symptomatology. Results of the current study build on extant neurobiological […]
Early research suggests that cannabis legalization does not lead to increases in adolescent cannabis use
The first column of Fig. 3 illustrates this data type using the Area Deprivation Index, a measurement of neighborhood deprivation derived from the American Community Survey. The second column in Fig. 3 illustrates traffic counts, which are point data that were obtained by surveying stations at various geographical locations. In contrast, raster data are usually […]
Our syndemic count likely contains factors with non additive effects on NCI
Significant sex differences in these domain summary scores were followed by analyses of covariance adjusting for covariates and biopsychosocial factors. Lastly, among HIV-positive and HIV-negative participants, we examined the moderating role of sex in the relationship between HIV serostatus and the likelihood of NCI in two logistic regression approaches: inclusion of an HIV-serostatus by sex interaction […]
Prop 47 led to substantially fewer drug arrests across all racial/ethnic groups
We calculated change in both absolute and relative differences across race/ethnicity, because relative differences can increase, even as absolute differences narrow. Relative differences depend on the rate in the reference group ; as rates in the reference group decline, a shrinking absolute difference may correspond to a widening relative difference. To calculate the difference in […]
The CRP pays farmers to convert environmentally sensitive cropland to conservation uses
In practice, GMO labeling has not given EU consumers greater choice, because food processors in Europe have recombined ingredients away from GMOs to avoid labeling. As suggested by comments from meat packers, the same pattern may develop with COOL. Just as intended, COOL is a non-tariff barrier to trade; this does not necessarily mean that […]
