PAPER ALERT! 🧠📄 My first first-authored paper is OUT! 🚀 Our meta-analysis on the impact of cocaine consumption on cognitive inhibition is now in Neuropsychology Review @springer.springernature.com W/ Alba González-Roz, Kyla Belisario, Elena Gervilla & Pilar Andrés. 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/s110...

While we confirm the expected significant correlation between CUD and poorer inhibition, our key finding is its UNEXPECTED STABILITY across major variables. We found this deficit was NOT significantly moderated by:❌ Days of abstinence❌ Years of use❌ Sample type (Clinical vs. Community).

What does this stability mean? 👇 🔎 It suggests that impaired inhibitory control may be a stable cognitive feature or a persistent vulnerability linked to CUD 💊, rather than a temporary state-dependent effect ⏳.

🔑🧠 KEY IMPLICATION: Since this association is so stable, targeting this cognitive vulnerability is critical 🫥. We argue for the integration of specific inhibitory control training into treatment for all CUD samples (outpatient and in-treatment).
