**New paper on JAMA Psychiatry** Cannabis use associated with accelerated cortical thinning from 14 to 19 years of age predominantly in prefrontal regions #development #brain #neuroscience Read the paper and hear the interview below: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Do you have #neuroimaging or #genetic data to contribute for secondary analyses? You could become a member of ENIGMA-Addiction Consortium, an international working group of ENIGMA Consortium that collects data relevant to #addiction phenotypes across substances. See flyer for further info👇

So excited about all the fascinating projects and findings presented in the ENIGMA-Addiction Consortium members meeting today! 🧠Sex differences in neuroanatomy of SUD (@lorenzvnt Healthy Brain and Mind Research Centre), cerebellar volume & SUD (Eduardo Garza), structural covariates of abstinence (@Leon_Fonville) and more!

New publication in the group!! WM differences in individuals with dependence on stimulants using data from 11 international sites. Thanks to all our members for making this work possible!! 🙏🥳

A GWAS of the factors showed some #genes associated with consumption and others with problems. bit.ly/3NcfsWr (4/4)

The #genetics that contribute to quantity of #alcohol consumed only partially overlaps with the genetics that contribute to alcohol use disorder (#addiction). Similar for #cannabis. PGC Consortium Substance Use Disorder group.

A #GWAS of a common #genetic vulnerability factor that underlies several substance use disorders (#addictions) identified 19 independent risk loci, many related to #dopaminergic signaling & regulation (AlexanderSHatoum, Nature Mental Health, in press; bit.ly/3VzzFtd) 2/2

Substance use disorders (SUDs, #addiction) are defined by problems caused by misuse of a drug, i.e. #alcohol use disorder by problems caused by misuse of alcohol. There is a lot of comorbidity among SUDs. Current #genetic findings reviewed: bit.ly/3wlTiLN (1/10)
