Schizophrenia :: Neurophysiological link between cannabis use and schizophrenia

Researchers have found altered neural synchronization in people who smoke cannabis, providing evidence to support the link between the use of this drug and schizophrenia.

Altered neural synchronization has previously been demonstrated in patients with schizophrenia. This led Patrick Skosnik (Indiana University, Bloomington, USA) and team to suggest that such alterations may represent a neurophysiological link between schizophrenia symptoms and the neurobehavioral effects of cannabis.
