Newest firstIntroductionCannabidiol (CBD), a major non-psychoactive constituent of Cannabis sativa, exerts pleiotropic effects, including antipsychotic, anxiolytic, and neuroprotective properties, with low toxicity and minimal euphoric effects. Previous studies have demonstrated that CBD alleviates memory impairments associated with pathological conditions such as seizures, reserpine exposure, pneumococcal meningitis, and sep…
Open article record in new tab ↗Object recognition memory (ORM) plays a key role in identifying familiar items and encoding episodic information. ORM consolidation depends on β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) signaling and is associated with increased BDNF expression in the dorsal hippocampus. Although hippocampal activation of cannabinoid type-1 receptors (CB1Rs) is known to impair ORM consolidation, the mechanisms underlying this effect remain uncle…
Endocannabinoids retrogradely regulate synaptic transmission and their abundance is controlled by the fine balance between endocannabinoid synthesis and degradation. While the common assumption is that "on-demand" release determines endocannabinoid signaling, their rapid degradation is expected to control the temporal profile of endocannabinoid action and may impact neuronal signaling. Here we show that memory for…
Open article record in new tab ↗Despite the fact that the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) plays a pivotal role in emotional memory processing in different regions of the brain, its function in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) remains unknown. Here, using contextual fear conditioning in rats, we showed that a post-training intra-RSC infusion of the CB1R antagonist AM251 impaired, and the agonist CP55940 improved, long-term memory consolidation.…
