How THC works: Explaining ligand affinity for, and partial agonism of, cannabinoid receptor 1
Abstract Interaction with cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) partially determines the bioactivity of the phytocannabinoids. Consequently, there has also been significant…
Edible cannabinoids impact meal structure and food impulsivity in female rats
Abstract Cannabinoid receptor agonists increase eating in a dose-dependent manner. However, the behavioral mechanisms by which cannabinoids modulate food intake…
Long-term consequences of adolescent exposure to the synthetic cannabinoid AB-FUBINACA in male and female mice
Abstract The consumption of synthetic cannabinoids during adolescence is reported to be a risk factor for the appearance of psychiatric…
The endocannabinoid system in the brain undergoes long-lasting changes following neuropathic pain
Abstract The endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is composed of endocannabinoids (eCBs), cannabinoid receptors (CBRs), and associated signaling molecules, has been…
LY-2183240 enhances reward-seeking behavior with inducing neuronal excitation and early apoptosis in mouse
Abstract Cannabinoids interact with cannabinoid receptors, influencing diverse central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral functions, including anxiety, depression, and cognition.…
Layer specific regulation of critical period timing and maturation of mouse visual cortex by endocannabinoids
Abstract Plasticity during the critical period is important for the functional maturation of cortical neurons. While characteristics of plasticity are…
Inhibition of cannabinoid degradation enhances hippocampal contextual fear memory and exhibits anxiolytic effects
Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated the pivotal involvement of endocannabinoids in regulating learning and memory, but the conclusions obtained from…
Cannabidiol counters the effects of a dominant-negative pathogenic Kv7.2 variant
Abstract Epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders can arise from pathogenic variants of KCNQ (Kv7) channels. A patient with developmental and epileptic…
Cannabis sativa research trends, challenges, and new-age perspectives
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. has been one of the oldest medicinal plants cultivated for 10,000 years for several agricultural and…
