Body's own marijuana helps us forget traumatic memories
The endogenous compound anandamide—often referred to as the body's own marijuana—plays a role in erasing memories of a traumatic event. This was discovered by an international team led by Leiden chemist Mario van der Stelt. The results have been published in Nature Chemical Biology and may provide a starting point for the treatment of anxiety disorders such as PTSD.
