Huge congrats to @clairelavalley.bsky.social on this new paper. www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Results show that methamphetamine users show a specific deficit in model-based planning, in which they fail to simulate plans with large short-term losses (elevated aversive pruning). Brief thread below!
