Compelling preclinical evidence corroborates a critical role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the central regulation of appetite and food intake. However, in vivo human evidence on ECS functioning in brain circuits involved in food intake regulation as w…

We first introduce this important regulatory system and chronicle what is known concerning the signal transduction pathways activated upo…
