Specifically, calculating the percentage of comments from participants related to specific themes allowed the research team to ensure that themes discussed in the current paper were saturated or were discussed frequently in focus group/individual interviews. Therefore, relying on percent of comments strengthens demonstration of saturation in the current study. Further, the majority of qualitative data…

The second goal of this study was to determine whether adolescents would report a greater likelihood to engage in behaviors endorsed by an attractive opposite-sex peer than their original independent report. We hypothesized that 1) adolescents who demonstrated an increased ventral striatal response to peer feedback would be more susceptible to experimentally manipulated peer influence;…

This includes individuals who are sensitive to reward prediction errors , those who have a preference for immediate rather than delayed rewards , who are impulsive , and adolescents . Adolescence can be considered an intersection in development where opportunities to engage in risky behavior, such as substance use, is met with a heightened sensitivity…

This represents a typical case seen at the Prodrome Assessment, Research and Treatment clinic in the Department of Psychiatry at The University of California, San Francisco. Along with obtaining a description of the adolescent’s symptoms in her own words, a key goal of the assessment is to evaluate presenting symptoms across dimensions of onset, duration, frequency,…

Due to the unequal time points between Week 16 and Week 26, we allowed for a free autoregression between these last time points.Lastly, initial models indicated large standardized residual covariances associated with the drinks per drinking day at Week 4. Due to the smoking quit date occurring at the start of the active medication phase, it is…

Results revealed that post-alcohol administration, the VAR + L-NTX group had significantly reduced craving for cigarettes over and above all other medication groups . The VAR + L-NTX group also demonstrated reduced alcohol “high” compared to placebo or monotherapy medication groups . Results post-cigarette administration revealed that the VAR + L-NTX group had reduced cigarette…

Sleep habits in volunteers were assessed for 7 days before sleep deprivation using a sleep protocol to exclude interferences of the sleep rhythm. For sleep deprivation, volunteers were requested to stay awake for one night without consuming any coffee or alcohol during that night; intake of food was allowed. All LPs were done between 10:00…

Similarly, it is important to check the blood levels of seizure medications when changes in metabolism are expected or in the context of suspected toxicity, but a routine practice of blood-level monitoring is a waste of time and resources.Second, better evidence is needed to guide the initiation, choice, and discontinuation of seizure medications. For example, while…

Exploration has special value early-on in a learning process; thus, it seems prudent in the context of psychedelic therapy that it be given consideration now, rather than further down the development path, when sub-optimal parameters begin to undergo regulatory ‘lock-in’. Rectifying this matter now may help mitigate risks associated with a too hasty scale-up of…

In neurotypical adults, the CEN is negatively correlated – i.e., anticorrelated – with the default mode network , an RSN associated with internal mentation and self-referential processing, whose key nodes include the medial prefrontal cortex. The decoupling of these RSNs has been found to be adaptive: Greater MPFC-DLPFC anticorrelations are associated with superior cognitive control…
