“Imaging the effects of GHB-induced coma on the brain”

“This study aims to explore the effect of regular use of GHB and/or GHB-induced comas on brain function and cognition. By combining different neuroimaging techniques, we intent to explore the effect of regular GHB use on neuropsychological function using a myriad of cognitive tasks. We are particularly interested in explore the effects of chronic GHB use on long-term memory, working memory, and emotional evaluation, but also interested in investigate how is GHB use potentially related to altered brain structure.”
