Association between increased retinal background noise and co-occurrent regular cannabis and alcohol use

ConclusionsThe increase in background noise may reflect the neurotoxicity of cannabis, potentiated by alcohol consumption, on retinal neurons dynamic. This neural disruption of the response generated by retinal stimulation may be attributable to altered neurotransmitter release.
