Functional hyperconnectivity between corticocerebellar networks and altered decision making in young adult cannabis users: Evidence from 7T and multivariate pattern analysis.

Psychiatry research. Neuroimaging March 1, 2023 Alan N. Francis, J. Camprodon, Francesca Filbey PhD

Decision-making (DM) impairments are important predictors of cannabis initiation and continued use. In cannabis users, how decision-making abnormalities related to structural and functional connectivity in the brain are not fully understood. We employed a three-method multimodal image analysis and multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) on high dimensional 7 tesla MRI images examining functional...

Structural reductions of Auditory–Temporoparietal Association Cortex in Cannabis Users: Relevance to Neural Systems Implicated in Auditory Hallucinations

Miguel Quintanilla, Ihsan M. Salloum, Alan N. Francis preprint

Abstract Background Cannabis use is a well-established environmental risk factor for psychosis and auditory hallucinations, yet the neurobiological mechanisms underlying this association remain incompletely understood. Neuroimaging studies of psychotic disorders have consistently implicated structural abnormalities within auditory and temporoparietal cortical networks involved in speech...
