#yalepsych scientists including first author @lichsar, left, and senior author @yip_lab, right, collaborated on a study in @BiologicalPsyc1 that gives insight into neural mechanisms of risk for problem-level cannabis use among adolescents/emerging adults. bit.ly/414Bgwk
Thrilled to share our new paper, now in press @BiologicalPsyc1, where we apply a connectome-based approach to identify a problem cannabis risk network, which was externally validated in 2 independent samples and specific for predicting cannabis vs alcohol use in all 3 datasets.
This is the first study to apply a data-driven, machine-learning approach to identify a generalizable and specific neuromarker of risk for problem-level cannabis use, paving the way for future efforts to develop more effective interventions for problem-level cannabis use.
Many thanks to my phenomenal mentors and collaborators on this project: @yip_lab, @PearlsonGodfrey, @DrBrianKiluk, #MarcPotenza, @HGaravan, #IMAGENConsortium
