Endocannabinoids are lipid signaling mediators that exert an important neuromodulatory
role and confer neuroprotection in several types of brain injury. Excitotoxicity and stroke can …

Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana and their endogenous counterparts, act
on the brain and many other organs through the widely expressed CB1 cannabinoid …

Cannabinoids exert pleiotropic actions in the CNS, including the inhibition of inflammatory
responses and the enhancement of neuronal survival after injury. Although cannabinoid …

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are self-renewing cells that can differentiate into multiple neural
lineages and repopulate regions of the brain after injury. We have investigated the role of …

The endocannabinoid system is involved in the regulation of many physiological effects in
the central and peripheral nervous system. Recent findings have demonstrated the …

The endocannabinoid system is known to regulate neural progenitor (NP) cell proliferation
and neurogenesis. In particular, CB 2 cannabinoid receptors have been shown to promote …

Endocannabinoids act as retrograde messengers that, by inhibiting neurotransmitter release
via presynaptic CB1 cannabinoid receptors, regulate the functionality of many synapses. In …

Endocannabinoids exert an important neuromodulatory role via presynaptic cannabinoid
CB1 receptors and may also participate in the control of neural cell death and survival. The …

The endocannabinoids (eCBs) anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol are important
retrograde messengers that inhibit neurotransmitter release via presynaptic CB1 receptors …

Endocannabinoids are neuromodulators that act as retrograde synaptic messengers
inhibiting the release of different neurotransmitters in cerebral areas such as hippocampus …
