Using Imaging to Assess Effects of THC on Brain Activity

The aim of this study is to assess the effects of THC intoxication using the medication dronabinol (synthetic THC) on resting state and task-based activation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), as well as on neurocognitive task performance and correlations between these measurements and clinical signs of intoxication, as well as to investigate at which doses of dronabinol an effect on neurocognitive task performance or an effect on PFC activity can be observed.
