back to the MRI which revealed that the temporal and parietal lobes are involved in spatial perception. However‚ instead of finding direct information related to those lobes and body perception‚ they found that the hippocampus actually played an important role. Located in the hippocampus are GPS cells and neurons which are better known by the researchers as “place cells”. These place cells play an important role when it comes to how an individual finds their body. Furthermore‚ it was also found that

cannabinoids are type of chemicals and THC is one of them‚ and cause really weird and abnormal effects on the brain.

They bred ‘Knockout’ mice with a lower level of DISC1 in one type of neuron in the hippocampus region. They found that on a molecular level‚ the newborn ‘ knockout’ mice had neurons displaying the same characteristics such as size and shape‚ to those that were normal. When the GABA was altered to have an opposite effect‚ the neurons that
