Journal ArticleDOI
Structural brain abnormalities in major depressive disorder: A selective review of recent MRI studies
TL;DR: The data support the notion that MDD involves pathological alterations of limbic and cortical structures, and that they are generally more apparent in patients with more severe or persistent forms of the illness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of long-term cannabis use on axonal fibre connectivity
Andrew Zalesky,Nadia Solowij,Murat Yücel,Dan I. Lubman,Michael Takagi,Ian H. Harding,Valentina Lorenzetti,Ruopeng Wang,Karissa Searle,Christos Pantelis,Marc L. Seal +10 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate long-term cannabis use is hazardous to the white matter of the developing brain and delaying the age at which regular use begins may minimize the severity of microstructural impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anticipation and outcome phases of reward and loss processing: a neuroimaging meta-analysis of the monetary incentive delay task
Stuart Oldham,Carsten Murawski,Alex Fornito,George J. Youssef,Murat Yücel,Valentina Lorenzetti,Valentina Lorenzetti +6 more
TL;DR: An Activation Likelihood Estimation meta‐analysis of 50 fMRI studies, which used the Monetary Incentive Delay Task (MIDT), to identify which brain regions are implicated in the anticipation of rewards, anticipation of losses, and the receipt of reward, helped clarify the neural substrates of the different phases of reward and loss processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Cannabinoids in Neuroanatomic Alterations in Cannabis Users
TL;DR: Across the 31 studies selected for inclusion in this review, neuroanatomic alterations emerged across regions that are high in cannabinoid receptors (i.e., hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, cerebellum), and greater dose and earlier age of onset were associated with these alterations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicate that dependence on a range of different substances shares a common neural substrate and that differential patterns of regional volume could serve as useful biomarkers of dependence on alcohol and nicotine.
