Gmeiner, Wolfgang

Wolfgang Gmeiner is an Austrian scientist primarily known for developing the concept of “endocannabinoid system,” which is a network of molecules and receptors in our bodies that helps regulate various functions like mood, appetite, and pain. His research has contributed to understanding how natural compounds in cannabis influence our health and how these pathways could be targeted for medical treatments. Gmeiner’s work is significant in neuroscience and pharmacology, advancing knowledge about how our body’s own chemical signals interact with external substances to maintain balance and well-being.
