TL;DR: The results suggest sex differences in error-related activations with heavier drinking associated with reduced error activations in women but not in men may reflect higher physiological arousal in response to errors and greater vulnerability of saliency-related arousal response to problem drinking in female as compared with male social drinkers.

TL;DR: Findings substantiate the neural correlates of the presumably parasympathetic response during alcohol cue exposure and the interrelationship among ventromedial prefrontal cortex activity, autonomic response, and problem alcohol use.

TL;DR: Verbal learning/memory and working memory are most prominently affected by acute administration of partial CB1 receptor agonists, consistent with the residual cognitive effects that have been documented among chronic cannabis users.

TL;DR: There was some evidence that the slow-taper strategy was associated with greater reductions in BPRS total scores early in the study compared to the other two strategies, however, these differences did not remain significant at endpoint, suggesting that there was no overall difference between the strategies.

TL;DR: The results provide evidence for increased vulnerability to the adverse effects of alcohol and drugs in schizophrenia patients and suggest that substance abuse/withdrawal may mimic some symptoms of schizophrenia.
