Research Hints at the Potential of Pain Relief with CBD Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester effectively deliver CBD to the brains of mice for neuropathic pain relief with no adverse side effects.

Collaborating with researchers at @harvardmed.bsky.social and @bostonchildrens.bsky.social, they recently discovered that in mice, they could effectively deliver CBD to the brain for neuropathic pain relief with no adverse side effects #neuroscience #research #CBD #pain

Can CBD Really Help With Pain? Could CBD Be Used for Pain Relief? New Research Finds It May Be Possible It is widely understood that CBD does not cause a ‘high’. However, what CBD does in the human body and brain is not well understood. Researchers in the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience developed CBD-IN and found that when given to mice, it provided pain relief within 30 minutes, and with none of the common adverse side effects, like loss of movement, balance, or memory, that often occur when taking conventional pain drugs. “The pain relief also lasted through repeated use,” said the paper's first author and staff scientist Jingyu Feng, PhD. “We did not see its effect wear off over time.” Full Paper: https://www.cell.com/cell-chemical-biology/fulltext/S2451-9456(25)00342-3 Full Press Release: https://urmcnewsroom.iprsoftware.com/publications/neuroscience/research-hints-at-the-potential-of-pain-relief-with-cbd #Research #CBD #pain #URochesterResearch #chronicpain #cannabis 🧠Stay Connected Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@URNeuroscience X: https://x.com/URNeuroscience BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/urneuroscience.bsky.social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/urneuroscience/ 🧠Experts: Kuan Hong Wang: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/people/112361873-kuan-hong-wang?clinical=false 🧠Lab: Wang Lab: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/labs/wang 🧠

Researchers Find “Forever Chemicals” Impact the Developing Male Brain “Forever chemicals” or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been widely used in consumer and industrial products for the better part of a century, but do not break down in the natural…

The PFAS - PFHxA, is made up of a shorter chain of molecules and is thought to have less of an impact on human health, but #URochesterResearch found that early life exposure to PFHxA may increase anxiety-related behaviors and memory deficits in male mice

#URochesterResearch found microglia, the brain's immune cells, play a key role in how the brain adapts to the changes in this area during adolescence, which may transform how neurodevelopmental disorders are treated during this window and, possibly, into adulthood
