What is the purpose of the study?
Researchers at CAMH are looking for healthy individuals aged 18 to 40 years old who are interested in volunteering for a clinical research study. We will use brain imaging techniques, including PET (positron emission tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans to study an important brain network called the endocannabinoid system. This will help us learn more about how this system functions in the brain of healthy individuals.
