CB1 receptor-enriched functional connectivity analysis revealed target-specific modulation by cannabidiol in early psychosis

BACKGROUND: Cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a potential antipsychotic treatment, acting as a negative allosteric modulator of cannabinoid type-1 (CB1) receptors within the endocannabinoid system. Although previous neuroimaging studies have shown that CBD induces changes in aberr...

Abstract The claim that climate homeorhesis—non-equilibrium steady-state dynamics that underlie Earth’s long-term habitability—depends on an integrated biosphere–climate system capable of acting on its own is central to debates surrounding the Gaia hypothesis. This paper presents...
