New paper led by my colleague Karis Colyer-Patel using an adapted N-back alcohol flanker task!

Preprint alert! 🚨We looked at what drives people to drink and how motives for use change across age. We used generalised additive models to model non-linear interactions between age and drinking motives as predictors of alcohol use severity.

Een hoger onderwijsstaking die het beleid geen pijn doet is cosplay – Jacobin Vorige week was er een staking in het hoger onderwijs. 7000 academici en studenten trokken naar Amsterdam, maar niemand leek echt acht te slaan op de staking. Want hoewel de universiteiten de staking ...

Ik ben het niet oneens met de inhoud en adviezen uit dit stuk - maar realiseert de schrijver zich dat we al jaren tegen de door hem genoemde problemen oplopen? Ons voornemen het "nu anders te doen" is niet genoeg om het hele veld in beweging te krijgen. jacobin.nl/een-hoger-on...

This article has now been published in Addictive Behaviors! doi.org/10.1016/j.ad...

We are currently also running a longitudinal MRI study to learn more about the neurological processes underlying age-related changes in substance use, I hope to share more on this in the future!

Another article from a really talented colleague on the role of age in relation to RSFC!

Very recommended read with valuable insights on digital interventions aimed at reducing cannabis use!

We think that adolescents and young adults rely more on feedback of their peers during social situations where the drinking norm is more ambiguous such as social non-alcohol drinking situations (SNAD).

Presenting the findings of our latest preprint on social attunement and alcohol use today at @ecnp.eu !

Our findings indicate that age moderates the link between social attunement and alcohol use, but only in situations where alcohol is not present.

We refer to this paradox as the social plasticity model of risk and resilience (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...). We are currently conducting a longitudinal MRI study in adolescents and young adults to further investigate this paradox (nofaresearch.com/en/research-...).

We hypothesise that adolescence is associated with an increased risk of developing substance use disorders. At the same time, we suggest that some of the risk factors commonly linked to adolescent onset of substance use may serve as protective factors later in early adulthood.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to give a lecture in the clinical psychology master's program at the @essb-erasmusuni010.bsky.social in the addiction course about how addictive behaviours are manifested in the brain and why adolescence is such an interesting period of life to study!
