Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the active ingredients in cannabis, is thought to be safe as it does not cause a 'high'.
Federation of European Neuroscience SocietiesJun 24 2024 Cannabidiol , one of the active ingredients in cannabis, is thought to be safe as it does not cause a "high". Increasing numbers of pregnant women take CBD, believing that it can help alleviate symptoms such as morning sickness , insomnia, anxiety and pain.
"Scientific evidence has proven that CBD crosses the placenta, can reach the brain of rodents and human embryos and is also present in breast milk; therefore, it's a public health priority to understand the impact of CBD on the developing nervous system as we don't yet know the consequences of CBD exposure to the brain during development," she says.
After the pups were delivered, the researchers waited for them to become adults and then tested their behaviors with a technology that uses infra-red, depth-sensing cameras and machine learning called 'Live Mouse Tracker'. This allowed them to detect a large range of behaviors when the mice were placed in a new environment for several days.
This research is carried out in mice so caution is necessary when considering any implications for humans. However, in addition to what is known about CBD crossing the placenta and being present in breast milk in both mice and humans, it is also known that cannabis intake can affect brain development in mice and humans.
Dr Iezzi studied the brains from adult mice that had been exposed to CBD during gestation in the same way as in Ms Caceres Rodriguez's research. She compared them with the brains from the control group of mice that had not been exposed to CBD.
