Hurd Laboratory of Addiction Neuroscience

Multidisciplinary research on the contribution of genes, epigenetics, physiology and environment to Substance Use Disorders. Innovative treatment developments.

Happy to share that our Comprehensive Adolescent Rehabilitation and Education Service (CARES) is now in a new location where we're better equipped to help the youth of New York.

Congratulations to the team, and special shout out to CARES Director, Shilpa Taufique 🎉

I'm looking forward to speaking at Mount Sinai's Dean's Select Seminar Series on October 6.

I'll be talking about the translational efforts in addiction research that contribute to the development of treatments 🧠

✨A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to @IcahnMountSinai's Jacqueline-Marie Ferland, PhD (@jmferland) on receiving the prestigious "#AvenirAward in #Genetics & #Epigenetics of Substance Use" for her work on “Multiscale Insights into the Epigenetic Basis of THC Consumption”!🎉 @NIDAnews @NIH

[Yasmin Hurd, PhD @neurovoice]

We are long overdue for more research on the benefits and risks of #cannabis use. While this research is in progress, we certainly need better policy for product standards and public education.

[Yasmin Hurd, PhD @neurovoice]

Our research shows the impact of #cannabis on the developing brain. I spoke to Dr. Delaney Ruston about how #THC exposure in adolescent rats alters cell communication vital for cognitive function.

Thanks for chatting with me @i_am_julie_rose!

Today’s #cannabis has much more potent THC than in the past. How we think about & approach cannabis needs to change with this in mind - from policy & consumer perspectives.

[Yasmin Hurd, PhD @neurovoice]

🤔 Today’s #cannabis products are shaped largely by commercial interests, which means consumer health & wellbeing isn’t always the top priority.

I encourage consumers to evaluate these products & know the potential risks.

In a recent episode of @ISSUESinST, I talked about the complexity of #cannabis regulations and the need for better policies and education for the public.

OUT NOW! In a NEW STUDY, researchers Randall Ellis, Yasmin Hurd @Neurovoice, et al. @icahnmountsinai have now found a unique molecular signature and genes in the orbitofrontal cortex associated with heroin-seeking behavior. Learn More @BiologicalPsyc1 https://t.co/eO9xcXfDdu

✒️ I wrote a Behind the Paper post for @SpringerNature about my lab's latest paper. Learn all about our exciting new work on how #CBD can mitigate #anxiety.

New Hurd Lab translational study used machine learning to identify the Shisa7 gene’s role in opioid addiction. This exciting work contributes to our understanding of the neurobiological basis of addiction.

Dr. Yasmin Hurd's research focuses on the impact of cannabis on neurodevelopment, especially among those at risk of substance use disorder. Now, w/ increasing potency & little regulatory oversight, her work plays a key role in a call for better education. https://t.co/QHqUgGfeE3

[Yasmin Hurd, PhD @neurovoice]

Cannabis has evolved dramatically in recent years, but our understanding of its health effects & the guidelines around its use haven’t kept up. In a recent piece for @sciam, I advocate for more research & better policies for safer cannabis use.

Is stronger cannabis leading to a rise in dependence? What is the relationship between cannabis potency & adolescent #cannabis use disorder (CUD)...

Our new commentary in @APAPubJournals explores this & proposes improvements to research & treatment 🧵 https://t.co/MF0tDsSBvj

📢 New Episode Out!

Can one have a genetic predisposition for substance misuse? How has research overlooked the importance of one's environment in substance misuse?
