TLDR
This review focuses on the neurobiological divergences associated with adolescent substance use, derived from a cross-sectional, retrospective, and longitudinal studies, and highlights how the use of these substances during adolescence may relate to behavioral and neuroimaging-based outcomes.Abstract:
Adolescence is an important ontogenetic period that is characterized by behaviors such as enhanced novelty-seeking, impulsivity, and reward preference, which can give rise to an increased risk for substance use. While substance use rates in adolescence are generally on a decline, the current rates combined with emerging trends, such as increases in e-cigarette use, remain a significant public health concern. In this review, we focus on the neurobiological divergences associated with adolescent substance use, derived from a cross-sectional, retrospective, and longitudinal studies, and highlight how the use of these substances during adolescence may relate to behavioral and neuroimaging-based outcomes. Identifying and understanding the associations between adolescent substance use and changes in cognition, mental health, and future substance use risk may assist our understanding of the consequences of drug exposure during this critical window.read more

tobacco use before, at and after first episode psychosis: A systematic meta-analysis : c66
TL;DR: Patients with first-episode psychosis tend to have smoked for some years prior to the onset of psychosis, have high prevalence of tobacco use at the time of presenting for treatment, and are much more likely to smoke than aged-matched controls.

Effects of vapourized THC and voluntary alcohol drinking during adolescence on cognition, reward, and anxiety-like behaviours in rats
Shahnaza Hamidullah,Claudia D. Lutelmowski,Samantha D. Creighton,Karling R. Luciani,Jude A. Frie,Boyer D. Winters,Jibran Y. Khokhar +6 more
TL;DR: The results show that although adolescent THC exposure acutely affects alcohol drinking, adolescent alcohol and cannabis co-use may not produce long-term additive effects.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the existing literature on sex differences in adult brain structure in normative samples and in 14 distinct psychiatric and neurological disorders is presented, highlighting the importance of large-scale neuroimaging initiatives such as the Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analyses consortium, the UK Biobank, Human Connectome Project, and others.

TL;DR: This study indicated no statistical change in the diagnosis of SUD among adolescents before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as older-male adolescents (17 to 19 years) were at higher risk of Sud, there is a need for early intervention for this group.

High genes: Genetic underpinnings of cannabis use phenotypes.
TL;DR: Delineating genetic risk factors in the various stages of cannabis use will provide insight into the biological mechanisms related to cannabis use, and highlight points of intervention prior to and following the development of dependence, as well as identify targets to aid drug development for treating problematic cannabis use.

The adolescent brain and age-related behavioral manifestations
TL;DR: Developmental changes in prefrontal cortex and limbic brain regions of adolescents across a variety of species, alterations that include an apparent shift in the balance between mesocortical and mesolimbic dopamine systems likely contribute to the unique characteristics of adolescence.

Drug Addiction and Its Underlying Neurobiological Basis: Neuroimaging Evidence for the Involvement of the Frontal Cortex
Rita Z. Goldstein,Nora D. Volkow +1 more
TL;DR: An integrated model of drug addiction that encompasses intoxication, bingeing, withdrawal, and craving is proposed, and results imply that addiction connotes cortically regulated cognitive and emotional processes, which result in the overvaluing of drug reinforcers, the undervalued of alternative rein forcers, and deficits in inhibitory control for drug responses.

Pharmacology of cannabinoid cb1 and cb2 receptors
TL;DR: This review focuses on the classification, binding properties, effector systems and distribution of cannabinoid receptors, and describes the various cannabinoid receptor agonists and antagonists now available and considers the main in vivo and in vitro bioassay methods that are generally used.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
TL;DR: FMRI reveals short-term physiological changes associated with active brain functioning, and in this way, fMRI can identify different parts of the brain where particular men-tal processes occur and can characterize the patterns of acti-vation associated with those processes.

The brain reward circuitry in mood disorders
Scott J. Russo,Eric J. Nestler +1 more
TL;DR: This Review synthesizes recent data from human and rodent studies from which emerges a circuit-level framework for understanding reward deficits in depression, and discusses some of the molecular and cellular underpinnings of this framework, ranging from adaptations in glutamatergic synapses and neurotrophic factors to transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms.
