Hashish smoking during pregnancy interferes with fetal brain

Hashish smoking during pregnancy harms the fetal brain development, say British scientists. Scientists from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) found that some drugs given to combat obesity, can also influence the development of the fetal brain. The researchers focused the study of molecules produced naturally in the brain. And draws attention to the interaction between the neurons of the brain. Endocannabinoids - analogs of active ingredients of cannabis, is naturally produced in the brain is also of hashish smoking, which uses the same receptors and affects produced on the same areas in the brain. As a result of fetal exposure in utero cannabis disrupts the natural processes of the formation and functioning of the brain. According to Professor Tibor Harkany, the study shows that such external influences can cause serious brain damage in the future.
