🚨New Paper - How does the brain value cannabis vs. snacks? 🍃🍔 Using fMRI & real purchases, we found strong cannabis value signals in reward regions (vmPFC, ventral striatum, dpCC), but not for snacks. Thanks to PI & lead author Gillinder Bedi 🔗 Read more: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Why do men and women react differently to drug cues? It's all about estradiol and progesterone! Using fMRI in 81 individuals with heroin or cocaine use disorders, they show that women have higher brain reactivity in the mPFC when exposed to drug cues, while men show more

More exciting news to share! Beyond honored to receive a K99/R00 pathway to independence award from NIDAnews to study the neurobehavioral predictors of craving and relapse in opioid use disorder! Grateful to all my mentors for their support over the course of my training.

While tDCS is often explained as "anode" electrode producing cortical-inward current low and excitation, while "cathode" electrode producing cortical-outward current an inhibition - the folded brain makes this more complicated:
