Newest firstNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents has previously been linked to alterations in the endocannabinoid system. While increasing evidence supports endocannabinoid levels as potential biomarker in psychiatric care, little is known about their longitudinal trajectories over the course of treatment or in predicting clinical symptoms. This is the first study to investigate endocannabinoids in a longitudinal co…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aberrant levels of blood markers reflecting inflammation and immune system activation have been implicated in psychotic disorders and linked to psychotic symptom severity. However, their predictive value for the long-term course of psychotic symptoms as well as the potential confounding and moderating role of cannabis use remain underexplored. We tested if baseline levels of immune markers previously linked to psy…
While psychotherapeutic treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) show in general good responses in affected individuals, 30-40% of patients show limited improvement. On a biological level, the endocannabinoid system of the body may play a role in the aftermath of trauma, in PTSD, and in extinction processes. This study is a secondary analysis of a randomized-controlled trial including patients with PTSD…
Most addiction research has focused on reward- and impulsivity-related neurocircuitry. However, the impact of the withdrawal/negative affect stage in the addiction cycle has been somewhat overlooked, despite it being commonly evident in the clinic. This stage crucially drives negative reinforcement of repeated drug use and relapse, yet less is known about its neural underpinnings. How negative emotional processing…
Open article record in new tab ↗Working memory (WM) deficits predict clinical and functional outcomes in schizophrenia but are poorly understood and unaddressed by existing treatments. WM encoding and WM retrieval have not been investigated in schizophrenia without the confounds of illness chronicity or the use of antipsychotics and illicit substances. Moreover, it is unclear if WM deficits may be linked to cannabinoid 1 receptor dysfunction in…
