AbstractCannabis use disorder is particularly prevalent and impairing among young people, and evidence-based treatments are limited. Prior trials of N-acetylcysteine, added to contingency management as a platform behavioral intervention, yielded positive findings in youth but not in adults. This trial sought to rigorously evaluate whether N-acetylcysteine is efficacious in youth when not paired with a robust behavioral treatment platform.

AbstractThe locus coeruleus (LC) is the primary source of noradrenaline (NA) in brain and its activity is essential for learning, memory, stress, arousal, and mood. LC-NA neuron activity varies over the sleep-wake cycle, with higher activity during wakefulness, correlating with increased CSF NA levels. Whether spontaneous and burst firing of LC-NA neurons during active and inactive periods is controlled by mechanisms independent of wakefulness and natural sleep, is currently unknown.
