Cannabis Use, Neurobiology, Psychology, and Treatment: A Comprehensive Guide

By Colin R Martin, Vinood B. Patel, Victor R Preedy BSc PhD DSc FRSB FRSPH FRCPath FRSC

Cannabis Use, Neurobiology, Psychology, and Treatment offers readers a comprehensive reference on neurological changes, both transient and long-term, and other factors surrounding the use of these compounds and extracts. With coverage of both natural and synthetic cannabinoids, this broad coverage allows readers to learn about both adverse and non-adverse effects, including reactivity to pain, changes in behavior, and neuroactivity. This volume provides a platform for research on the effects of these compounds in brain function and neurological dysfunction.

Extracts from the Cannabis sativa plant contain scores of psychoactive compounds in addition to the principal agent tetrahydrocannabinol, many of which are neuroactive. This book provides a detailed analysis of the neuroactivity of multiple Cannabis compounds beyond tetrahydrocannabinol, including conditions like depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s, psychosis, and epilepsy. It also discusses brain structure and brain development, including functional connectivity.
