Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research investigations in substance use initiation and use among developing populations (pre-adolescents, adolescents, and young adults in transitional age) has expanded in the last couple of decades. This has become partially possible due to advancements in novel and safe techniques able to index physiological changes in the developing brain as well as the creation of large-scale naturalistic studies providing a wealth of information about psychological and physiological changes in the brain. The goal of this Special Issue is to present some of the most recent findings from prestigious research teams that have been leaders in the field of adolescent substance use. We are soliciting submissions from teams working in neurophysiology and brain neuroimaging that investigate both markers of risk for SUD development and the effects of treatment interventions.
