Newest firstDrug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects approximately 30% of individuals with epilepsy and remains a major clinical challenge despite the availability of multiple antiseizure medications (ASMs). Beyond recurrent seizures, accumulating evidence implicates chronic neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, excitotoxic injury, and progressive neurodegeneration as processes associated with epileptogenesis…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabidiol (CBD) presents antiparkinsonian properties and neuromodulatory effects, possibly due to the pleiotropic activity caused at multiple molecular targets. Recently, the GPR55 receptor has emerged as a molecular target of CBD. Interestingly, GPR55 mRNA is expressed in the external globus pallidus (GPe) and striatum, hence, it has been suggested that its activity is linked to motor dysfunction in Parkinson's…
Cannabidiol (CBD), the major non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid present in the plant Cannabis sativa, has displayed beneficial pharmacological effects in the treatment of several neurological disorders including, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. In particular, CBD is able to modulate different receptors in the endocannabinoid system, some of which belong to the family of G-protein-coupled rec…
The phytocannabinoids of Cannabis sativa L. have, since ancient times, been proposed as a pharmacological alternative for treating various central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Interestingly, cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) are highly expressed in the basal ganglia (BG) circuit of both animals and humans. The BG are subcortical structures that regulate the initiation, execution, and orientation of movement. CBRs re…
