Cannabinoids and the Brain: Focused Investigations of Therapeutic Application and Early-Life Risk

University of California, San Francisco

Year: 2025

Amount: $1,993,986.41

Status: In progress

Primary Investigator: Sall

Summary

This project will investigate how cannabinoid exposure affects the developing brain, including potential effects on neuronal development, cognition, and behavior, while also examining possible therapeutic applications of cannabinoids. Building on Sall’s prior DCC-funded developmental cannabis research, the project aims to better distinguish potential therapeutic benefits from risks associated with cannabinoid exposure during sensitive periods of brain development.
