Summary: A recent study illuminates the brain’s unique response to stress: releasing its own cannabinoid molecules akin to THC from cannabis plants.
Centered in the amygdala, these molecules counteract stress alarms originating from the hippocampus, an integral memory and emotion region. This hints at the body’s intrinsic mechanism for stress management.
Disruption in this system might escalate risks for stress-induced psychiatric conditions.
