Article Synopsis
- - This study examines how exposure to alcohol and cannabis (specifically THC) during pregnancy affects certain types of inhibitory interneurons in the hippocampus of rats, focusing on somatostatin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons.
- - Pregnant rats were exposed to either alcohol or air and THC or a placebo, with the effects on interneuron densities analyzed after birth, revealing sex-specific changes in neuron populations.
- - The findings suggest that both THC and alcohol can impact brain function developmentally, particularly by altering inhibition processes in a way that varies between male and female rats.
