This study examines how CBD and THC affect striato-cortical connectivity in the human brain using fMRI, finding THC disrupts connectivity while CBD mitigates some effects and has mixed impacts when used alone.

The paper shows that different analysis workflows by 70 teams on the same fMRI dataset led to varied results, but meta-analysis found consensus in activated regions.

The paper introduces two short, reliable control tasks for pharmacological fMRI studies to minimize confounding effects and improve task reliability.

This study uses electronic cigarettes with fMRI to examine brain activation during smoking, revealing neural networks and deactivations associated with simulated smoking.
