Newest firstThe role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in major depressive disorder (MDD) is under-investigated despite reports of increased activity and/or concentration of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), a key ECS enzyme, in fronto-limbic brain regions in some animal models of depressive behavior. We hypothesized that [11C]CURB λk3, an index of FAAH density, would be elevated in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and…
Open article record in new tab ↗Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) imposes a high societal burden given the repetitive reactive aggression that affected individuals perpetrate. Since the brain endocannabinoid system (ECS) has been implicated in ASPD and aggressive behavior, we utilized [11C]CURB positron emission tomography to investigate fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), an enzyme of the ECS that degrades anandamide, in 16 individuals with…
