Exploring the Impact of Lifetime Cannabis Use on Brain Function and Structure
Originally Published 1 year ago — by SciTechDaily
A study using the UK Biobank suggests lifetime cannabis use is linked to changes in brain structure and function, particularly affecting white matter integrity and neuronal connectivity. However, genetic analysis indicates these changes may not be causally related to cannabis use, highlighting the need for further research. The study also notes sex-based differences in brain impact and emphasizes the importance of understanding cannabis's long-term effects as its global use increases.
