Detailed description of study
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: Healthy
-
Age: 18 years - 38 years
-
Gender: All
This study investigates how different parts of the brain communicate with each other in people who use cannabis and those who do not. The focus is on brain connectivity, which refers to how different areas of the brain work together, during tasks that involve learning, unlearning, and the timing of automatic eye-blinks.
Participants will undergo neuroimaging using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to observe their brain activity. The study involves tasks related to eye-blinks, which are automatic eye movements that can be conditioned to occur in response to certain stimuli.
- Who can participate: Participants must be in good health. The study seeks volunteers who currently use marijuana and those who do not use any illicit drugs.
- Study details: Participants will take part in neuroimaging sessions using fMRI to study their brain activity during specific tasks. They will be compensated $30 per hour for their participation.
- Study Timelines: The study will last approximately 8 hours.
