The study, officially named “Cannabinoid modulation of brain activation during volitional regulation of negative affect in trauma-exposed adults,” aimed to learn more about how THC affects certain parts of the brain.
Many studies on the effects of cannabis and PTSD have come before but this one is one of the first to explore how THC affects the corticolimbic brain activation.
“Prior research among healthy subjects suggests that an acute, low dose of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) could attenuate the neurophysiological discrepancies that exist between individuals with and without PTSD during tasks of emotional processing; however, the effect of an acute, low dose of THC on corticolimbic activity during emotion regulation among individuals with PTSD has not yet been studied,” researchers wrote in their abstract.”
