Nov 15, 2016Press ReleaseResearch released today reveals new strategies for treating chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, and alcohol abuse by targeting the brain’s cannabinoid system. Targeting cannabinoid receptors — which bind both natural neurotransmitters and the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana — may provide some of the therapeutic benefits of marijuana without the side effects. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2016, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
