The project

This documentary explores the effects of cannabis on the teenage brain. AXS contributed scientific animations to explain marijuana induced psychosis due to increased activation of cannabinoid system and dopamine levels. We visualized the neural pathways affected by cannabis to help a lay audience understand the medical effects of THC on the brain. This included an innovative visualization of neurons firing in the prefrontal cortex.
