Abstract Background Alcohol is commonly consumed by adolescents in a binge‐like pattern, which can lead to long‐lasting cognitive deficits, including reduced behavioral flexibility. We and others have determined that adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) exposure leads increased number of perineuronal net (PNN) numbers brain regions are important for However, whether altered neurochemistry stemming from AIE plays significant role flexibility unknown. Methods measured the size parvalbumin...
Introduction Attentional bias to reward-associated stimuli can occur even when it interferes with goal-driven behavior. One theory posits that dopaminergic signaling in the striatum during reward conditioning leads changes visual cortical and parietal representations of stimulus used, this, turn, sustains attentional is discontinued. However, only a few studies have examined neural activity both rewarded unrewarded task phases. Methods In current study, participants first completed...
Engaging youth in planning, developing, and implementing substance misuse prevention efforts can improve those efforts. However, specific local policies systems constrain engagement practice. This study examines how to engage within state systems.In the qualitative study, semi-structured interviews with 13 providers North Carolina system were conducted via video call transcribed analyzed thematic codebook approaches. Procedures are reported according Consolidated Criteria for Reporting...
Abstract Background Opioid use remains a major public health issue, especially among young adults. Despite investment in harm reduction and supply-side strategies such as reducing overprescribing safe medication disposal, little is known about demand-side issues, reasons for pathways to opioid use. Adolescents adults who struggle with disorder (OUD) are multifaceted individuals varied individual histories, experiences, challenges, skills, relationships, lives. Methods To inform the...
