So less -- but better connected grey matter --- hmmmm
Regular cannabis use shrinks the brain but increases the complexity of its wiring, a study has found.
To some extent the loss of brain volume is balanced by larger numbers of connections between neurons, scientists discovered.
But they warn that those who take the drug for too long are likely to suffer damaging effects.
The brain scan study of cannabis users is one of the first to investigate the drug’s long-term neurological impact in living people.
Dr Sina Aslan, from the University of Texas at Dallas, US, who co-led the research, said: “What’s unique about this work is that it combines three different MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) techniques to evaluate different brain characteristics.
“The results suggest increases in connectivity, both structural and functional that may be compensating for grey matter losses. Eventually, however, the structural connectivity or ‘wiring’ of the brain starts degrading with prolonged marijuana use.” ..................
