Here's how cannabis use can change teens' brains

Here's how cannabis use can change teens' brains

Cannabis drinking appears to affect adolescent brain development, altering it in ways that can reduce their reasoning, decision-making and memory as they age, a new study reveals.

Brain scans of about 800 teens found that those who started drinking cannabis tended to experience a contraction of the cerebral cortex, which is the outer layer of the brain responsible for thought, perception and language.

And that wrinkle particularly affected brain regions associated with working memory, inhibition, attention and emotional regulation, says lead researcher Matthew Albaug, a clinical psychologist and assistant professor at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington.

"At the age of 19, teens who drank marijuana were shown to show signs of inability to concentrate," he said. "It has an effect on impulsivity, which is one's ability to concentrate."

For this study, his team reviewed data from a long-term European study of adolescent brain development. Participants had their brains scanned at age 14, and again when they turned 19 years old. The Albaug team focused on 799 teens who at age 14 said they had never used cannabis.

Initial brain scans did not show any significant differences between the children. But in the scan that followed 5 years later, the teens were asked again about marijuana use, where it was found that in those who had used it, the cerebral cortex had become increasingly thinner as the brain connections were refined as the pathways unused neural cells close says researchers.

The more cannabis you drink, the greater the thinning of the cortex. Researchers plan to study these young people by age 23 to see if other problems develop in the behavior and skills of cannabis users.

The new study was published in the latest issue of the journal JAMA Psychiatry. "These structural changes are more likely to translate into serious problems later in life," said Dr. Scott Krakouer, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and narcotics treatment expert at Zucker Hillside Hospital. in New York.

Albaug, on the other hand, says that the findings of this study should be taken into account by the authorities, as more and more countries in the world are legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for adults.
