Cannabis Use, Neurobiology, Psychology, and Treatment: Extracts from the Cannabis sativa plant contain scores of psychoactive compounds in addition to the principal agent tetrahydrocannabinol, many of which are neuroactive. Cannabis Use, Neurobiology, Psychology, and Treatment offers readers a comprehensive reference on the neurological changes, transient and long-term, accompanying the use of these compounds and extracts. With coverage of both natural and synthetic cannabinoids, this broad coverage allows readers to learn about both adverse and non-adverse effects, including reactivity to pain, changes in behavior, and neuroactivity. This volume provides a platform for research on the effects of these compounds in brain function and neurological dysfunction.

Medicinal Usage of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: There is a growing body of data supporting the usage of cannabis and cannabis-related products in alleviating or preventing symptoms in different diseases and conditions. Medicinal Usage of Cannabis and Cannabinoids offers readers a comprehensive reference on the medical usage and symptom relief provided by these compounds in a variety of disorders. With coverage of neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and a wide range of other afflictions including depression, anxiety, nausea, and cancer, this broad coverage allows readers to learn about symptom control but also physiological, psychological, and pharmacological effects of these compounds. Unique case reports are provided as well. This volume provides a platform for research on the use of these compounds in improving patient care, brain function, and neurological dysfunction.

Neurobiology, Physiology, And the Endocannabinoid System: The endocannabinoid system has been implicated in various neurological conditions, whose modulation by endogenous or exogenous cannabinoids may provide novel treatment regimes. Neurobiology, Physiology, And the Endocannabinoid System offers readers a comprehensive reference on the neurobiology of this system and the use of cannabimimetic compounds to induce neurological changes and confer symptom relief. With coverage of both natural and synthetic compounds, this broad coverage allows readers to learn about their use with multiple conditions, as well as the working biology of the endocannabinoid system, its receptors, and its ligands. This volume provides a platform for research on the effects of this system and its modulation in brain function and neurological dysfunction.
