Positive face BOLD response and task-dependent ventral striatal functional connectivity during Go/No-go task among abstinent cannabis-using adolescents and young adults.

Ryan M. Sullivan, Alexander L. Wallace, Carissa W. Tomas, Hailey G. Wirtz, Christine L. Larson, Krista M. Lisdahl

Introduction Regular cannabis use is associated with attenuated neural reward signaling, primarily measured through monetary or drug-cue tasks. Yet, minimal research has studied functional positive face processing in inhibitory control contexts, particularly amongst cannabis-using adolescent and young adults. The present study seeks to investigate functional response differences in whole-brain and ventral striatal…

Disrupted Resting State Attentional Network Connectivity in Adolescent and Young Adult Cannabis Users following Two-Weeks of Monitored Abstinence.

Julia C. Harris, Alexander L. Wallace, Alicia M. Thomas, Hailey G. Wirtz, Christine M. Kaiver, Krista M. Lisdahl

Background Numerous neuropsychological studies have shown that cannabis use during adolescence and young adulthood led to deficits in sustained and selective attention. However, few studies have examined functional connectivity in attentional networks among young cannabis users, nor have characterized relationships with cannabis use patterns following abstinence. Methods Differences in resting state functional con…
