Vicious Circle Leads to Loss of Brain Cells in Old Age: THC May Help Reverse the Process

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 2, 2018

A new study reveals how dangerous inflammations in the brain are caused during the aging process. Researchers say failure with the CB1 to control activity of immune cells may result in chronic neuroinflammation. They say it may be possible to break this vicious cycle in the future with drugs that contain THC, which is a powerful CB1 receptor activator.... Read More...
