Research: My research aims to explore the mechanisms underlying the antidepressant properties of the cannabis plant derivative cannabidiol (CBD) in a rat model of depression. I focus on molecular, neuronal, and genetic changes in the brain that underlie the impact of CBD on the depressive-like phenotype behavior.
