Stroke can damage brain cells when oxygen and glucose are cut off, a process known as ischemia. In this study, researchers investigated whether phytocannabinoids—naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant—could help protect neurons under these stressful conditions. Using a laboratory model of stroke, scientists exposed human stem-cell-derived brain cells to oxygen-glucose deprivation and then […]

Cannabidiol (CBD) Improves Cognitive Recovery After Traumatic Brain Injury in Preclinical Study (pub. Jan 2026)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to long-term cognitive problems caused by oxidative stress, inflammation, and neuronal cell death following the initial injury. In this study, researchers investigated whether cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound from hemp, could improve cognitive impairment after TBI. Using both cell-based experiments and animal models of brain injury, scientists evaluated memory […]
Clinical and Cognitive Improvement Following Treatment with a Hemp-Derived, Full-Spectrum, Full-Spectrum CBD Shows Improvements in Anxiety, Mood, and Cognitive Performance in Pilot Study (pub. Aug 2025)
Anxiety disorders can significantly impact daily life, affecting sleep, focus, and overall well-being. In this open-label pilot study, researchers evaluated a hemp-derived, full-spectrum cannabidiol (CBD) product in adults experiencing moderate to severe anxiety symptoms. Participants took the CBD formulation daily over a six-week period while researchers tracked changes in anxiety levels, mood, sleep quality, and […]
