Cannabis- and HIV-related perturbations to the cortical gamma dynamics supporting inhibitory processing.

Brain Communications 2025 Mikki Schantell, Mia C Lulli, Kellen M McDonald et al.

The main psychoactive component in cannabis-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol-is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and to alter gamma oscillations, pointing to its potential as a therapeutic agent for people with HIV (PWH). However, it remains unknown how cannabis use among PWH interacts with the neural circuitry underlying inhibitory processing. Herein, using a cross-sectional study design, we...

Chronic cannabis use alters the spontaneous and oscillatory gamma dynamics serving cognitive control.

Human Brain Mapping August 1, 2024 Mikki Schantell, Jason A John, Anna T Coutant et al.

Regular cannabis use is associated with cortex-wide changes in spontaneous and oscillatory activity, although the functional significance of such changes remains unclear. We hypothesized that regular cannabis use would suppress spontaneous gamma activity in regions serving cognitive control and scale with task performance. Participants (34 cannabis users, 33 nonusers) underwent an interview...
