THC alters alters morphology of neurons in medial prefrontal cortex, orbital prefrontal cortex, and nucleus accumbens and alters the ability of later experience to promote structural plasticity

This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. Both repeated exposure to Delta 9‐Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and housing in complex environments changes the morphology of dendrites in medial prefrontal cortex, orbital frontal cortex and nucleus accumbens. Prior exposure to THC influenced the effect of later experience in complex environments to shape the structure of neurons in these three regions.
