Long-term effects of THC exposure on reward learning and motivated behavior in adolescent and adult male rats

TL;DR: This paper found that repeated THC exposure (5 mg/kg/day for 14 days) during adolescence or adulthood led to long-term changes in rats' capacity to flexibly encode and use action-outcome associations for goal-directed decision making.

Research Article A study of the neurotoxic effects of tramadol and cannabis in adolescent male albino rats

TL;DR: abuse of tramadol or cannabis, alone and in combination, caused antidepressant effect, impaired spatial memory, elevated serotonin levels in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, induced oxidative stress, and deleteriously altered brain histopathology in adolescent male albino rats.

Sex differences in the behavioral and synaptic consequences of a single exposure to cannabinoid at puberty and adulthood

TL;DR: Assessing social behavior and PFC neuronal and synaptic functions in rats during pubertal or adulthood periods, 24h after a single in-vivo cannabinoid exposure (SCE) indicates behavioral and synaptic sex differences in response to asingle in- vivo exposure to cannabinoid at puberty and adulthood.

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.

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.
