It has an inhibitory effect on the development of connections between parts of the brain involved in higher mental functions. This has been demonstrated in animal studies by histological examination of brain tissue, and in humans by brain imaging studies, showing thinning of relevant areas of the brain cortex in affected users and differences in regional blood flow and electrical activity of such areas.
