“Cannabidiol (CBD) has antipsychotic effects in humans, but how these are mediated in the brain remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms that underlie the therapeutic effects of CBD in psychosis. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Cannabidiol may partially normalize alterations in parahippocampal, striatal, and midbrain function associated with the CHR state. As these regions are critical to the pathophysiology of psychosis, the influence of CBD at these sites could underlie its therapeutic effects on psychotic symptoms.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30167644 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2697762“Psychosis: Cannabis extract normalizes brain function” https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322926.php
