Adolescent Brain Development
A study conducted by Matthew Albaugh and colleagues at the University of Vermont found that cannabis use in early adolescence may lead to more significant shrinking in regions of the prefrontal cortex compared to non-users.
This indicates that cannabis could potentially disrupt brain development in teens.
Effects on Older Adults
Interestingly, research suggests that cannabis may have potential benefits for older adults, with the potential to improve memory and cognitive function.
These findings raise questions about the potential impact of cannabis on cognitive development across different age groups.
