          Hope for Chemo Brain: Cannabis Could Improve Sleep and Cognitive Function in Cancer Patients

          Cancer patients who use cannabis to address their symptoms have less pain, sleep better, and after a few weeks of sustained use, appear to think more clearly. This study is among the first to assess how cannabis bought over the counter at dispensaries affects cancer symptoms or chemotherapy side effects, and sheds light on the wide variety of products cancer patients use now that marijuana is legal in many states. The findings suggest that while some forms and dosages of cannabis for pain relief may impair thinking short-term, the treatment might improve cognition in the long run by reducing pain.

          Identifying the Inflammatory Cells Behind Chemo Brain

          Microglia appear to be associated with brain fog and memory problems that arise as a result of exposure to chemotherapy, researchers discovered. Deleting the immune cells from the microglia in mice who received the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel lowered inflammation and restored memory function.

          Chemo Brain Starts During Cancer’s Progression, Not Just After Treatment

          Chemotherapy is often blamed for memory loss and cognitive problems in cancer survivors. However, new research published in Neuroscience challenges this belief. Researchers report cognitive impairments, often referred to as Chemo Fog, may actually start as the tumor grows and develops.
