Understanding Neuroprotection
Neuroprotection refers to the mechanisms and strategies used to protect nerve cells from damage, degeneration, and eventual death. Conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease represent significant challenges for healthcare systems, particularly as the population ages. Traditional therapeutic approaches have been limited, often focusing on alleviating symptoms rather than addressing the underlying neurodegenerative processes. As a result, there is a pressing need for novel treatments, and here is where cannabis enters the conversation.

The cannabinoids found in cannabis, particularly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), have garnered significant attention for their potential neuroprotective properties. Research suggests these compounds may help reduce inflammation, promote neuronal survival, and even stimulate neurogenesis—the formation of new neurons. This opens up intriguing possibilities for cannabis to act as a complementary therapy for various neurological disorders.

Why AI for participatory processes in government is not widespread? 🤔
In a new #CSCW2025 paper, @jaguridi et al. analyze how public servants and politicians have different incentives and approaches to a thoughtful AI adoption for participatory processes.

Politicians focus on external-facing motives and risk mitigation strategies while public servants tend to prioritize internal controls and efficiency gains.
