What THC does is act on CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain, which are called cannabinoid receptors. A chemical produced in the body, Anandamide (AEA) is an endogenous cannabinoid that works as a neuroreceptor. It has a negative effect on working memory in lab rats, much like THC. But it also helps reduce sensations of pain, especially when combined with Acetaminophen - acetaminophen is an AEA reuptake inhibitor, increasing circulation of the cannabinoid in the human body, which very likely contributes to its analgesic effects.
it can affect the emotions as THC Comes in contact with certain parts of the brain. the one part of your brain THC effects the "Forget" area of the brain (its the part of the brain that is made to forget things that are not important. otherwise our brains would be overload with unnecessary memory's. so when that gets activated by THC you tend to forget things around you and your problems in life. but it may have after effects where heavy THC Users can have long-term Memory Problems. (Not Everyone will get long-term memory loss)
Yes, regular use of marijuana can affect cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and learning. This is because THC, the active compound in marijuana, interacts with receptors in the brain that are involved in these functions. Over time, this can impact an individual's ability to remember information and focus on tasks.
The plural of brain is brains
T.V is bad for the brain because it can lead to many cancers and does serious damage to a babys brain
Neuropsychology is the study of the brain's structure and function. Neurobiology or Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, which includes the brain.
THC is the only chemical that can stimulate the brain exactly like marijuana can and THC is only found in marijuana and Marinol.
I believe it is THC
Canabinoids are used within the body in certain areas as neurotransmitters, so yes, your brain does produce chemicals like THC, and employs them in a very controlled fashion, which is quite different from the blunt doping approach that occurs when the naturally occurring equivalents are absorbed into the brain by other means.
No it does not. Your brain does not produce a weed related chemical..... Sorry EDIT: Although the above is correct to an extent, the brain does have natural cannabinoid receptors that have been discovered. These receptors respond to a natural chemical Anandamide (AEA). And don't worry, if there's anything to apologize for it's your lack of information on the subject.
No, THC the active chemical in cannabis does not destroy brain cells. Loss of brain cells from marijuana is caused by the smoke inhalation by depleting your brain of oxygen. But a user would have to hold smoke in there lungs for very extended periods of time to cause any damage to the brain cells.
Yes, they're called cannabinoid receptors.
The ingredient that gives you the feeling of being high is THC. It does that because the THC activates CB1 Receptors in the brain.
THC enters your system when you consume cannabis products by smoking, vaping, or ingesting them. Once ingested, THC is absorbed into the bloodstream and then distributed throughout the body, including to the brain where it produces its psychoactive effects.
THC stores in the organs that contain the most fatty tissue. eg. The reproductive organs (ovaries, testicle's) and the brain.
THC, the primary active metabloite in Marijuana binds to the CB1 and CB2 receptors and is an agonist. It prompts the brain to release dopamine and endorphines into your brain, which get you high. Interstingly enough, cannabis contains another cannabinoid, cannbidiol, which acts as a partial agonist to the THC, blocking some of its effects but still letting it chill in your brain. As the cannabidiol is released from blocking the receptors, more THC is absorbed, keeping you high longer. Good cannabis contains around 18-22% THC and a good 35-40% cannbidiol.
mos hamemte- look that up dog
Its called THC.
