Dynamical exploration of the repertoire of brain networks at rest is modulated by psilocybin Louis-David Lord, Paul Expert, Selen Atasoy, Leor Roseman, Kristina Rapuano, Renaud Lambiotte, David J. Nutt, Gustavo Deco, Robin L. Carhart-Harris, Morten L. Kringelbach, Joana Cabral, NeuroImage, 2019, 199, 127–142 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.05.060 A B S T R A C T Growing evidence from the dynamical analysis of functional neuroimaging data suggests that brain function can be understood as the exploration of a repertoire of metastable connectivity patterns (‘functional brain networks’), which potentially underlie different mental processes. The present study characterizes how the brain's dynamical exploration of resting-state networks is rapidly modulated by intravenous [...]

Should Physicians Recommend Replacing Opioids With Cannabis?, Keith Humphreys, Richard Saitz, 2019

Should Physicians Recommend Replacing Opioids With Cannabis? Keith Humphreys PhD, Richard Saitz, MD, MPH JAMA, 2019, 321, 7, 639-640. doi : 10.1001/jama.2019.0077 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2723649 Recent state regulations (eg, in New York, Illinois) allow medical cannabis as a substitute for opioids for chronic pain and for addiction. Yet the evidence regarding safety, efficacy, and comparative effectiveness is at best equivocal for the former recommendation and strongly suggests the latter—substituting cannabis for opioid addiction treatments is potentially harmful. Neither recommendation meets the standards of rigor desirable for medical treatment decisions.   Résumé : States that permit medical marijuana as an alternative to opioids for chronic pain and for addiction [...]
