TLDR
The results suggest that heavy cannabis consumption in adolescence may induce subtle alterations in the emotional circuit in female rats, ending in depressive-like behavior, whereas male rats show altered sensitivity to rewarding stimuli.

Dose mediates the protracted effects of adolescent THC exposure on reward and stress reactivity in males relevant to perturbation of the basolateral amygdala transcriptome

TL;DR: The findings emphasize the importance of dose and behavioral state on the presentation of THC-related behavioral phenotypes in adulthood and dysregulation of astrocytes as an interface for the protracted effects of high dose THC and subsequent stress sensitivity.

Changes in brain structure and function following chronic exposure to inhaled vaporised cannabis during periadolescence in female and male mice: A multimodal MRI study

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to assess any sex‐based neurobiological effects of chronically inhaled, vaporised cannabis on adolescent female and male mice.

Long-Term Outcomes of Adolescent THC Exposure on Translational Cognitive Measures in Adulthood in an Animal Model and Computational Assessment of Human Data.

TL;DR: In this paper , a translational rat study was conducted to evaluate the long-term outcomes of adolescent THC exposure on adult decision-making and impulse control in a rat model and found that high-dose adolescent exposure was associated with cognitive vulnerability in adulthood, especially with THC re-exposure.

Adolescent cannabinoid exposure modulates the vulnerability to cocaine-induced conditioned place preference and DNMT3a expression in the prefrontal cortex in Swiss mice

TL;DR: Findings suggest that exposure to WIN55,212-2 during adolescence leads to changes in DNMT3a expression, and this pathway appears to be relevant to modulating the rewarding effects of cocaine.

Age-dependent effects of cannabinoids on neurophysiological, emotional, and motivational states

TL;DR: Interference of endocannabinoid signalling by cannabis exposure may contribute to explain the enduring negative impact of cannabis on neurodevelopmental processes and the resulting psycho-physio-pathological consequences.

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.

Behavioural despair in rats: a new model sensitive to antidepressant treatments.

TL;DR: Positive findings with atypical antidepressant drugs such as iprindole and mianserin suggest that the method may be capable of discovering new antidepressants hitherto undetectable with classical pharmacological tests.

Critical periods of vulnerability for the developing nervous system: evidence from humans and animal models.

TL;DR: Of critical concern is the possibility that developmental exposure to neurotoxicants may result in an acceleration of age-related decline in function, and the fact that developmental neurotoxicity that results in small effects can have a profound societal impact when amortized across the entire population and across the life span of humans.

The use of a plus-maze to measure anxiety in the mouse

TL;DR: The plus-maze appears to be a useful test with which to investigate both anxiolytic and anxiogenic agents.

The Mesolimbic Dopamine Reward Circuit in Depression

TL;DR: It is proposed that the NAc and VTA contribute importantly to the pathophysiology and symptomatology of depression and may even be involved in its etiology.
