Brain development and environmental exposure to cannabis

Research Area

The cannabis plants marijuana and hashish are the most commonly used substances of abuse by women of reproductive age. However, frequent exposure to cannabis during fetal stages can cause negative impacts on brain development and neurobehavioral and cognitive deficits in children. A recently funded project in our lab will help explain how increased prenatal cannabis exposure impacts the developing brain by defining key cellular processes that are affected.
