#ThisWeekInNPP Studies in animal models & healthy humans suggested that increasing the eCB ligand AEA (via FAAH inhibition) may be a novel PTSD treatment - but did it work? Find out in this recent paper from @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social @cannabrain.bsky.social @pact-lab.bsky.social & co

The undertaking of the century fresh off the press from my first postdoc in Sweden. Not what we hoped to find but that raises new questions on the topic of endocannabinoids and their relationship with PTSD #Cannabinerds
