As a viewer and not a player, I dont really have any experience or dog in this fight.

But this is the internet.

Balltops or you're trash.

My apologies. It's a definition clarity error. When examining electrophysiology properties, especially plasticity, long term means timescales of minutes to hours. Thus "long-term depression" means a neuron's activity has been depressed for a few hours, which is a long time for a neuron.

The paper is linked in the post, and its free open access!

GABA usually regulates dopamine. THC gets GABA #neurons stuck in an "off" position which then lets dopamine release more easily. If this goes on too long, the brain adjusts to higher dopamine and feels bad without it.

Great question. We did not examine the long-term outcomes of the animals. I did determine that a single exposure was insufficient to induce a long-lasting change. Young animals all exhibited long-term changes after a week of daily exposure, but only 50% of adults.

We also found that the younger the age of exposure to marijuana (THC), the greater the effect and the faster the onset of long-term changes! 🧠

Excellent recommendation

Core memory unlocked. I forgot this book was everything to me for a few months when i was a child

Thank you! Yes, how do starter packs work? And if I want to post into a group I use an emoji, did I see something about that?

I'm a neuroscientist, about to leave research and academia and enter the NIH to spread awareness of new biotech and neuroscience developments. How do I get added?

Haha, yes! This describes my whole thesis from a few years back. I spent five years proving cocaine is addictive and more dangerous when you are a teen than when adult. Same for marijuana and certain other drugs.

Some things we already know, but need to be tested and proven anyway. #science !

Yes I have! But it has been a few years. I noticed his writing improved dramatically over the series. I bet his newer works continue that trend.

Haha, thank you for the recommendation! I will have to give it a read

So i just click the art link on the right and can follow the whole thing there?

Hello Dr. Monica, could you add me to the feed? I am brand new to bluesky and trying to figure it all out. Here is my orcid:
