Interaction of schizophrenia and chronic cannabis use on reward anticipation sensitivity
Abstract Chronic cannabis use and schizophrenia are both thought to affect reward processing. While behavioural and neural effects on reward processing have been investigated in both conditions, their interaction has not been studied, although chronic cannabis use is common among these patients.
