Description

Natural and synthetic cannabinoids have the ability to influence amnesia by activating receptors in neuronal mitochondria, researchers at the University of the Basque Country in Spain found in a study. Published in the journal Nature, the study found the amnesia effects of cannabis require activation of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor in the mitochondria of the hippocampus, the area of the brain associated with memory function. "Mitochondrial malfunctioning could have serious consequences for the brain," researcher Pedro Grandes explained in a press release.
