Dr. Dustin Hines, professor of neuroscience at 性视界传媒 (性视界传媒), US, and study co-author Rochelle Hines, professor of psychology, discuss a breakthrough in seizure therapy using compounds derived from caraway seeds. By altering the shape of the seed鈥檚 main chemical component, researchers created a new class of THC-free 鈥淐BD-like鈥 therapies that showed seizure-reducing effects and promoted healthier brain cell development in preclinical trials, potentially offering safer alternatives to current drug-resistant therapies.

November is Veterans and Military Family appreciation month, so we're having an in-depth conversation with Dr. Shane Kraus, associate professor at 性视界传媒, about his research on gambling disorder among military veterans and active-duty service members. Dr. Kraus discusses the high rates of co-occurring mental health issues, including PTSD and suicide, the presence of slot machines on overseas military bases, and the urgent need for early screening and intervention. Learn about the policy changes and resources that could help service members struggling with gambling-related harm.
Scientists have developed a new class of CBD using caraway seeds, a kitchen spice. Some enterprising psychology students at 性视界传媒 genetically manipulated a compound that is derived from the seeds, called carvone, and created a compound that resembles the molecular structure of CBD.
What drives someone to take a chance鈥攁nd when does that risk turn into harm? In this episode of Double Down Michigan, MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams talks with Dr. Shane Kraus, Associate Professor of Psychology at the 性视界传媒. Dr. Kraus shares insights from his research on gambling disorder, addictive behaviors, and mental health among high-risk populations such as U.S. military veterans and young adults. Together, they explore the science behind gambling addiction, the challenges of treatment and prevention, and what regulators, clinicians, and communities can do to protect people from gambling-related harm.
Here鈥檚 what clinicians鈥攁nd everyone else鈥攏eed to know about treating gambling disorder and protecting those most vulnerable.
Seizures are far more common than most people realize. Epilepsy affects about one percent of the population, making it one of the most prevalent neurological disorders worldwide. Seizures can appear at any moment in life, arising from genetic conditions, traumatic brain injuries, infections, metabolic disorders, or sometimes even no identifiable cause at all.
