\"\"Investigadores de la Universidad de California en San Diego, el consumo de alcohol en adolescentes reduce significativamente la salud del tejido cerebral, efecto negativo que sorpresivamente no se presente en quienes consumen marihuana.<\/p>\n

La investigaci\u00f3n involucr\u00f3 a 92 j\u00f3venes de entre 16 y 20 a\u00f1os en un periodo de 18 meses, divididos en dos grupos dependiendo de la sustancia que acostumbraban consumir ya desde antes del estudio: alcohol o marihuana, la cual continuaron utilizando el tiempo que dur\u00f3 la investigaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El escaneo del cerebro de los j\u00f3venes revel\u00f3 que aquellos que beb\u00edan 5 o m\u00e1s tragos al menos 2 veces por semana mostraron una salud disminuida de su tejido cerebral, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la memoria, la atenci\u00f3n y la toma de decisiones, las habilidades en las que se observ\u00f3 mayor deterioro.<\/p>\n

Curiosamente, este fen\u00f3meno no se repiti\u00f3 en los consumidores habituales de marihuana (consumo de 9 o m\u00e1s veces por semana), en quienes el tejido cerebral no presentaba da\u00f1o de ning\u00fan tipo, si bien los investigadores no examinaron el rendimientos de los adolescentes.<\/p>\n

Joanna Jacobus, otra de las autoras del estudio, el da\u00f1o se debe sobre todo a que la llamada \u201cmateria blanca\u201d del tejido cerebral, que toma parte en la capacidad de decisi\u00f3n, se desarrolla en la adolescencia, cuando una persona se encuentra en sus 20.<\/p>\n

\"\"One of the main warnings that kids hear about the dangers of pot smoking is that it will ruin their brain cells, but researchers from the University of California-San Diego along with the University of Pittsburgh, say otherwise.<\/p>\n

In a recent study, 92 young adults and teens were examined for a total of 18 months to determine the true effects of extended alcohol and marijuana use. Each of the participants had records of using both substances in the past, and brain scans were taken before and after the testing period.<\/p>\n

One half of the group continued to use alcohol and marijuana in their usual amounts during the study and the other participants either kept away from both substances or dramatically reduced their levels of consumption.<\/p>\n

At the end of the study, researchers learned the participants that continued to use alcohol showed signs of brain tissue damage, while those who continued to smoke marijuana during the study didn\u2019t show any brain tissue damage.<\/p>\n

Joanna Jacobus, who co-authored the study, said that because of the various ways the herb is grown today, it’s hard to pinpoint its effect on users.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne reason is that marijuana can really vary, is made in different ways, and with higher or lower levels of THC and other marijuana components,\u201d she said in an interview with the Huffington Post. \u201cFor example, one component, cannabidiol, may actually have neuroprotective effects.\u201d<\/p>\n
