adolescent alcohol usePsyPost

A recent study published in Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology has uncovered a surprising link between adolescent alcohol use and brain structure.
Researchers found that larger hippocampal volumes are associated with alcohol use during adolescence, while no such relationship was found for tobacco or cannabis use.
This study adds new dimensions to our understanding of how different patterns of substance use affect the adolescent brain.
Study suggests alcohol use trajectories that are most likely to be associated with changes in brain structure.
This new knowledge may help to promote the efficient use of resources and target patterns of substance use that are the most harmful at the population level.
The study was authored by Juliann B. Purcell , Nathaniel G. Harnett , Sylvie Mrug , Marc N. Elliott , Susan Tortolero Emery , Mark A. Schuster , and David C. Knight .
