Brain and cortisol responses to smoking cues are linked in tobacco‐smoking individuals Open
Cues associated with smoking can induce relapse, which is likely driven by cue‐induced neurobiological and physiological mechanisms. For instance, greater relapse vulnerability is associated with increases in cue‐induced insula activation …

Clinical utility of a hybrid secondary and relapse prevention program in adults with mild intellectual disability in community residential and day habilitation settings Open
The Refusal Skills Group is developmentally appropriate for people with mild ID in that: (1) they can learn and demonstrate refusal skills and (2) their skill acquisition is predicted more strongly by exposure to the intervention than by i…

Denoising scanner effects from multimodal MRI data using linked independent component analysis Open
Pooling magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data across research studies, or utilizing shared data from imaging repositories, presents exceptional opportunities to advance and enhance reproducibility of neuroscience research. However, scanner…

A Preliminary Examination of Nicotine-Free Electronic Cigarette Use During Cessation From Combustible Cigarettes Open
Despite the availability of smoking cessation strategies, smoking cue-induced craving remains a relatively untreated relapse risk factor. Utilizing nicotine-free electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to extinguish the motivational influence…

The Grass Might Be Greener: Medical Marijuana Patients Exhibit Altered Brain Activity and Improved Executive Function after 3 Months of Treatment Open
The vast majority of states have enacted full or partial medical marijuana (MMJ) programs, causing the number of patients seeking certification for MMJ use to increase dramatically in recent years. Despite increased use of MMJ across the n…

Splendor in the Grass? A Pilot Study Assessing the Impact of Medical Marijuana on Executive Function Open
Currently, 25 states and Washington DC have enacted full medical marijuana (MMJ) programs while 18 states allow limited access to MMJ products. Limited access states permit low (or zero) tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and high cannabidiol (CBD…

Redox Dysregulation in Schizophrenia Revealed by in vivo NAD+/NADH Measurement Open
Balance between the redox pair of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (oxidized NAD+ and reduced NADH), reflects the oxidative state of cells and the ability of biological systems to carry out energy production. A growing body of evidence s…
View article: Default Mode Network Functional Reorganization During Early Abstinence in Polysubstance-Using Emerging Adults Treated for Opioid Dependence
Default Mode Network Functional Reorganization During Early Abstinence in Polysubstance-Using Emerging Adults Treated for Opioid Dependence Open
This study examined default mode network connectivity within the first 30 days of abstinence in emerging adults entering treatment for opioid dependence. There were significant associations between abstinence duration and coupling strength…

The Effects of Smoked Nicotine on Measures of Subjective States and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Hormones in Women During the Follicular and Luteal Phases of the Menstrual Cycle Open
This pilot study suggests that menstrual cycle phase differences in progesterone levels may attenuate nicotine's addictive effects via diminution of its reinforcing properties and augmentation of its aversive effects interfering with the p…
