Exploring the Utility of a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Cannabis Cue-Reactivity Paradigm in Treatment-Seeking Adults With Cannabis Use Disorder
Background
Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies examining cue reactivity in cannabis use disorder (CUD) either have had small sample sizes or have involved non–treatment-seeking participants. As a secondary analysis, we administered a functional magnetic resonance imaging cue-reactivity task to participants with CUD enrolled in 2 separate clinical trials (varenicline or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to determine the task activation patterns for treatment-seeking participants with CUD. We aimed to determine the activation patterns for the total sample and behavioral correlates. We additionally compared studies to determine if patterns were consistent.
Methods
Treatment-seeking participants with moderate or severe CUD had behavioral craving measured at baseline using the Marijuana Craving Questionnaire–Short Form and completed a visual cannabis cue-reactivity task during functional magnetic resonance imaging (measuring the blood oxygen level–dependent response) following 24 hours of cannabis abstinence.
Results
The sample included 65 participants (n = 37: varenicline trial; n = 28: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation trial; 32% female; mean age = 30.4 ± 9.9 years). When comparing cannabis images versus matched neutral images, participants showed greater blood oxygen level–dependent response in bilateral ventromedial-prefrontal, dorsolateral-prefrontal, anterior cingulate, and visual cortices as well as the striatum. There was stronger task-based functional connectivity between the medial prefrontal cortex and both the amygdala and the visual cortex. Craving negatively correlated with blood oxygen level–dependent response in the left ventral striatum (R2 = −0.32; p = .01) in the full sample. There were no significant differences in either activation or task-based functional connectivity between studies.
Conclusions
In 2 separate treatment-seeking groups with CUD, there was increased cannabis cue reactivity and task-based functional connectivity in regions related to executive function and reward processing. Cannabis craving was negatively associated with cue reactivity in the left ventral striatum.
期刊介绍:
Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging is an official journal of the Society for Biological Psychiatry, whose purpose is to promote excellence in scientific research and education in fields that investigate the nature, causes, mechanisms, and treatments of disorders of thought, emotion, or behavior. In accord with this mission, this peer-reviewed, rapid-publication, international journal focuses on studies using the tools and constructs of cognitive neuroscience, including the full range of non-invasive neuroimaging and human extra- and intracranial physiological recording methodologies. It publishes both basic and clinical studies, including those that incorporate genetic data, pharmacological challenges, and computational modeling approaches. The journal publishes novel results of original research which represent an important new lead or significant impact on the field. Reviews and commentaries that focus on topics of current research and interest are also encouraged.
