SUMMARY:Addiction Policy Forum Webinar: Cannabis and Health: What the Science Tells Us
DESCRIPTION:There have been national policy changes related to the use of Cannabis for medical purposes\, yet there are many questions from the public and healthcare providers about medical use. The FDA has approved specific cannabis-derived and cannabis-related therapeutics for treating certain medical conditions\, but it has not approved cannabis itself for treating any health conditions. \n\n\nThis webinar will examine the scientific evidence on cannabis and health\, while separating evidence-based facts from common myths. Speakers will provide an overview of what is known about cannabis’ medical applications\, limitations in the research\, and its public health implications. Presenters will also address common myths\, highlight what science has yet to establish\, and provide resources for those seeking reliable information. \n\nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:GSAPP Webinar: A 50-Year Integrative Perspective on the Psychology and Psychotherapy of Substance Use Disorders
DESCRIPTION:This webinar presents a psychological and psychotherapeutic approach to understanding and treating addiction\, informed by the presenter’s five decades of experience working with diverse patient populations across a wide range of substance use disorders (SUDs) involving alcohol\, opioids\, cocaine\, and other psychoactive drugs. His work spans multiple settings\, from inpatient and outpatient programs to private office-based and internet-based practice. He will share insights into effective treatment strategies\, focusing on how mental health professionals\, regardless of theoretical background\, can build on their existing skills to address both the behavioral and psychological dimensions of addiction. \nFor psychotherapists and others in the mental health field\, it is well-recognized that behavior change alone often falls short in overcoming addiction. When complex psychological issues remain unrecognized and unaddressed\, substance use frequently serves as a coping mechanism for managing overwhelming emotions and psychological distress\, making relapse likely or even inevitable. This webinar explores how sustained abstinence\, while beneficial\, does not fully resolve underlying emotional difficulties. These unresolved issues\, unless adequately identified and addressed\, may continue to drive cravings and self-medication urges long after substance use has ceased. \nThis webinar will describe key principles and practices of treatment that blend together psychodynamic\, cognitive-behavioral\, client-centered\, and pharmacological interventions. And\, how key elements of seemingly disparate approaches can be blended together to provide effective individualized care. The integrated psychotherapeutic approach described in this webinar is transtheoretical in the sense that it does not view one conceptual framework or theoretical orientation as superior to all others. Rather\, it appreciates that each has something to offer to greater or lesser degrees depending on the particulars of a given case. A flexible nondogmatic stance that gives priority to establishing and maintaining a positive therapeutic relationship with each patient is seen as the primary vehicle for delivering truly individualized care. Participants will learn how they can build upon the clinical skills they already have to engage and treat patients with SUDs more effectively in psychotherapy practice and/or other clinical settings. \nInstructor: Arnold Washton\, PhD \nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:BHI Plenary Seminar: Dr. Michael J. Frank Frontosubthalamic Control Over Motivated Action
DESCRIPTION:he Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI) is thrilled to welcome Dr. Michael J. Frank\, Edgar L. Marston Professor of Cognitive\, Linguistic\, and Psychological Sciences and Director of the Carney Center for Computational Brain Science at Brown University\, as our distinguished plenary speaker for the Brain Health Institute Plenary Seminar Series. This event\, scheduled for Thursday\, November 6\, 2025\, at 12:00 PM at Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience\, Aidekman Building\, Room 103 Rutgers University-Newark\, promises to spark innovative dialogues at the intersection of computational neuroscience\, decision-making\, and basal ganglia circuits—key to understanding motivated behaviors and disorders like Parkinson’s disease. \nDr. Michael J. Frank\nDr. Frank’s trajectory in neuroscience exemplifies a seamless integration of engineering rigor and cognitive inquiry. He earned a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Queen’s University\, Canada\, in 1997\, followed by an M.S. in Electrical Engineering (Biomedicine) from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2000\, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Psychology from the same institution in 2004. His doctoral research\, advised by Dr. Randall C. O’Reilly\, explored dynamic dopamine modulation of striato-cortical circuits in cognition—a foundation for his lifelong pursuit of how neural networks drive learning and choice. Launching his independent career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona in 2006\, Dr. Frank joined Brown University in 2009. There\, he advanced rapidly: Associate Professor from 2011 to 2016\, full Professor in Cognitive and Psychological Sciences since 2016\, Edgar L. Marston Professor since 2018\, and Director of the Carney Center for Computational Brain Science since 2020. In these roles\, he oversees interdisciplinary efforts to model brain function\, bridging theory with empirical data to advance computational psychiatry. \nAbstract of the Talk: “Frontosubthalamic Control over Motivated Action” \nThe subthalamic nucleus (STN) is the primary region targeted by deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson’s patients. While STN-DBS is effective\, it can also induce cognitive side effects. Synthesizing anatomical\, electrophysiological\, and lesion data\, we developed a computational account of how the STN contributes to action selection and decision making. In the model\, the STN detects “conflict” among competing cortical actions and\, in turn\, sends a “hold your horses” signal to temporarily prevent the striatum from prematurely selecting a response. We have studied this mechanism at levels of computation that are both more abstract (functional and cognitive) and more biophysical (mechanism). We showed that neural dynamics within the frontal cortex-STN network can be summarized in terms of more abstract mathematical models of decision dynamics in the form of sequential sampling models\, wherein STN activity increases the effective “decision threshold.” Several key predictions from this model have been supported: decision conflict induces low-frequency cortical and STN dynamics\, which in turn support adaptive decision making by altering the decision threshold. Moreover\, interfering with this mechanism via STN-DBS reduces the decision threshold and induces impulsivity. At the biophysical level\, we have built a large-scale model of the STN and its interaction with other basal ganglia nuclei to study the mechanisms that give rise to low-frequency oscillations related to decision conflict. This work identified NMDA receptors within the STN and architectural constraints that induce the observed neural dynamics\, consistent with recent reports that NMDA modulation within STN can be leveraged to modulate impulsivity. This work truly shows the impact of multilevel modeling from circuit to function to biophysics. \nDate and Time: Thursday\, November 6\, 12:00 PM \nLocation: Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Aidekman Building\, Room 103\, Rutgers University-Newark \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94853284352?pwd=8RXaZaXDxrUU388axsH8TV6PbnqsQj.1\nMeeting code: 948 5328 4352 Password: 110625 \nHosted by Dr. Travis Baker\, Associate Professor\, the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience\, Rutgers University-Newark \nLearn more\, click here.

SUMMARY:Addiction Policy Forum Webinar - Extent of Cannabis Use: Trends\, Risks\, and Policy Landscape
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nCannabis use in the United States has increased significantly in recent years\, alongside rapidly evolving state policies that permit medical or recreational use. These shifts raise important questions about public health\, including the impact on mental health and substance use disorder risk\, adolescent brain development\, and the potential harms associated with regular or high-potency use. Variations in state laws create a complex landscape that can influence access\, perceptions of risk\, and patterns of use across different populations. \n\n\nThis webinar will explore the current policy landscape of cannabis use across the country\, highlighting laws and regulations for medical and non-medical consumption and their public health implications. Speakers will also discuss emerging research on the latest trends\, potential risks\, and harms\, with a focus on adolescent use. \nFor more information\, click here.
