📢 New Study: THC and CBD affected rat brain activity differently 🧠 🔹 Preclinical multimodal neuroimaging 🔹 Adult male rats received THC, cannabidiol (CBD), THC:CBD, or vehicle 🔹 THC increased functional connectivity and cerebral blood flow; CBD decreased connectivity without changing blood flow ⚠️ Rat study; findings may not generalize to humans 🔗 f.mtr.cool/9aarwu0fcy #MedicalCannabis #CannabisResearch #CannabisEducation #Neuroimaging #CBD

Excited to share our study published today in Nature! This work by the CB Network at the University of Washington was led by Dr. David Marcus, myself and Dr. Micheal Bruchas. Considering how challenging it is to publish in such a high impact journal, I am full-on celebrating.
