// Definition
A genetic variant of the Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) enzyme that is less efficient at breaking down anandamide, positively correlated with higher happiness levels in human studies.
// From the Episode
Indra explained that the AIL variant associated with a less efficient FAAH enzyme is positively correlated with happiness, connecting the endocannabinoid system to emotional wellbeing. This observation generated hypotheses about endocannabinoid deficiency that could be tested through clinical experiments and data mining of the human genome.
