Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CB1 receptors are abundant in the hippocampus, a region of the brain important in memory formation and retrieval. Activation of CB1 receptors by marijuana use disrupts the normal functioning of the hippocampus and impairs memory. CB2 receptors are found in the immune system and have less of an impact on memory.
