Excited to share the first of Abdalla Albeely’s work on characterizing a model of cannabis withdrawal after vaporized cannabis flower exposure! In addition to being the first study to look at cannabis vapor, this also is the first time behavioral network analyses are used to characterize withdrawal!

🚨Do we need a large, expensive MRI scanner to map whole-brain networks in the mouse? Not necessarily! In our new preprint ▶️ tinyurl.com/3a2h4r9f we show that transcranial functional ultrasound (fUSI) can map connectome-scale networks with striking agreement to fMRI 🧵👇
