The daily administration of CBD is associated with improved memory and reduced age-related cognitive decline, according to preclinical data published in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.
Researchers reported that CBD treatment reduced neuroinflammation and improved learning and memory processes.
“The findings of this study indicate that CBD reduces inflammatory response in the brain and improves cognitive decline associated with aging,” the study’s authors concluded. “Importantly, evidence was also observed suggesting that long-term CBD treatments do not have negative impacts on these same functions and brain regions, nor do they cause negative side effects … It is possible that the effects of CBD treatment can be enhanced if an extract with THC and terpenoids is used.”
Separate data published recently in the journal Alzheimer’s Research and Therapy similarly reports that CBD treatment improves memory in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
