Title: Neuroimaging and Genetics of the Acute and Chronic Effects of Cannabis
Abstract: Neuroimaging research has made a major contribution to our understanding of the biological bases of mental disorders and addiction. With the growing concern about cannabis use, the number of human studies using neuroimaging techniques to determine the effect of the substance on brain structure and function has increased significantly, as has the number of recently published reviews. In this chapter, we assess the main results of neuroimaging studies of acute and chronic cannabis use, and discuss some preliminary data regarding its genetic modulation. We also note the methodological limitations of the currently available evidence, and suggest directions for future research in the field.
