Newest firstIntroduction Cannabis, which contains cannabinoids delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), has become the third-most-commonly used psychoactive substance in the United States. The legal market has grown alongside the increase in adult cannabis use, resulting in greater availability of products with a wide range of THC and CBD content. One of the most consistently observed cognitive effects of can…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cognitive deficits are hallmark features of several neuropsychiatric disorders, yet therapeutic options remain scarce. Modulation of the endocannabinoid system through inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) represents a promising target that may influence both cognitive functions and the neuroendocrine system. However, mechanisms linking FAAH inhibition to these outcomes remain poorly understood. In this…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background While research has consistently identified an association between long-term cannabis use and memory impairments, few studies have examined this relationship in a polydrug context (i.e., when combining cannabis with other substances). Aims: In this preliminary study, we used event-related potentials to examine the recognition process in a visual episodic memory task in cannabis users (CU) and cannabis po…
Rationale Cannabis use is widespread and has previously been associated with memory impairments. However, the role of cannabis in relation to false memory production, i.e., memories of events that were not experienced, is less well-understood. Objective The aim of the current field study was to examine the impact of cannabis use on false memory production. Methods The Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm was us…
Open article record in new tab ↗Elucidating how cannabinoids affect brain function is instrumental for the development of therapeutic tools aiming to mitigate 'on target' side effects of cannabinoid-based therapies. A single treatment with the cannabinoid receptor agonist, WIN 55,212-2, disrupts recognition memory in mice. Here, we evaluate how prolonged, intermittent (30 days) exposure to WIN 55,212-2 (1 mg/kg) alters recognition memory and imp…
Open article record in new tab ↗Intermittent alcohol exposure is a common pattern of adolescent alcohol use that can lead to binge drinking episodes. Alcohol use is known to modulate the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is involved in neuronal communication, neuroplasticity, neuroinflammation and behavior. Adolescent male Wistar rats were exposed to 4-week intermittent alcohol intoxication (3 g/kg injections for 4 days/week) or saline (N = 12…
