Mouse Study Identifies Neurons Behind Cannabinoid-Linked Anxiety
Original: Neurons Involved in Generating Anxiety After Cannabinoid Drug Exposure Identified in Mice
Researchers have identified specific neurons in mice that generate anxiety following exposure to cannabinoid drugs. The finding, reported by Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News, offers a biological explanation for the anxiety side effects some cannabis users experience. The work may help guide development of cannabinoid-based therapies that avoid triggering anxious responses, as debate continues over medicinal cannabis use.
Why now: Growing interest in the neurological mechanisms of cannabis side effects amid expanding medicinal and recreational legalization.
