Beschreibung: Binge and blackout drinking are particularly prevalent among youth. Such patterns of excessive alcohol consumption have previously been linked to deficits in cognitive functioning, especially in spatial working memory. However, the role of gender in not only the prevalence of binge and blackout drinking but also its cognitive antecedents remains less clear. This bachelor?s thesis aims to explore how excessive alcohol intake, particularly in the context of binge and blackout drinking, might influence cognitive functioning differently between young men and women.

Beschreibung: Cannabis, with its main psychoactive compound, THC, is one of the most widely used substances worldwide. Cannabis use, and especially frequent cannabis use, has been associated with reduced cognitive functions, such as impaired inhibitory control and working memory. Recently, differences in not only patterns of use but also potential adverse effects on cognitive functioning have been discussed. However, particularly among adolescents and young adults, knowledge about such gender differences is limited. This thesis will aim to summarize the current evidence on this topic.

Beschreibung: Cocaine use continues to be a global public health concern. This bachelor?s thesis investigates the impact of cocaine consumption on cognitive functions, with a focus on gender-specific disparities. Despite existing inconsistencies in the literature, numerous studies highlight detrimental effects on cognitive functions and suggest that cocaine use may enhance pre-existing distinctions in cognitive functions between males and females. This thesis may include studies assessing cocaine consumption in animal models and humans.
