概括
大麻使用似乎增加了大脑皮层的刺激性和改变了运动抑制,由更高的运动唤起的潜在幅度和减少的短延迟皮层内抑制表明. 这些变化可能对大麻使用者产生临床影响.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 精神病学是一个精神病学.
- 神经生理学 神经生理学
背景情况:
- 大麻使用与大脑功能变化有关,但其对皮质刺激和抑制的影响尚未完全理解.
- 之前的研究表明潜在的神经效应,需要进一步研究特定的皮质机制.
研究的目的:
- 评估大麻使用对皮质刺激性,皮质内抑制和感官抑制的影响.
- 探索这些神经生理变化与大麻使用者的临床数据之间的相关性.
主要方法:
- 利用跨磁刺激 (TMS) 来评估包括静止运动值 (RMT),电机唤起的电位幅度 (MEP-A),皮质静止期 (CSP),短延迟皮质内抑制 (SICI) 和短延迟附带抑制 (SAI) 在内的措施.
- 使用临床评分尺度评估参与者:症状检查清单-90-Revised (SCL-90-R),蒙特利尔认知评估 (MoCA) 和汉密尔顿焦虑和抑郁尺度 (HAMA和HAMD).
- 对比了16名大麻使用者和20名健康对照者的神经生理和临床数据.
主要成果:
- 大麻使用者表现出明显更高的MEP-A和延迟的CSP发作,这表明皮质刺激性增强和运动抑制改变.
- 在大麻使用者中,在4毫秒的刺激间隔内观察到减少SICI,这表明皮质内抑制受损.
- 两组之间在短延迟附带抑制 (SAI) 中没有发现显著差异.
- 在RMT和体化,RMT和成严重程度指数之间发现了负相关性.
结论:
- 大麻使用似乎增强皮层刺激性和改变运动抑制,由增加的MEP-A,减少的SICI和延迟的CSP发作证明.
- 这些神经生理学变化可能会产生潜在的临床影响,因此需要进一步研究大麻对大脑功能的长期影响.

339
CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabinoids, have varying structures and mechanisms of action that lead to different therapeutic effects and side effects. Cocaine, with its molecular formula C17H21NO4, is a tropane alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It has two chemical forms: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The former is in powder form, while the latter involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a form that can be smoked. Cocaine exerts its...

01:15Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena
659
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

01:28An Overview of Psychoactive Drugs
305
Psychoactive drugs impact brain function, influencing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. These substances are grouped based on their effects and the mechanisms by which they act.
Stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, and nicotine enhance brain activity, leading to increased alertness, attention, and energy. These drugs typically raise heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. While they can induce feelings of euphoria, their misuse can result in severe health...
