The adult mammalian brain can produce new neurons in a process called adult
neurogenesis, which occurs mainly in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and in the hippocampal …

Neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain occurs mainly in two neurogenic niches, the
subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus (DG) …

The endocannabinoid system has been implicated in the modulation of adult neurogenesis.
Here, we describe the effect of type 1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) activation on self …

Pharmacological studies suggest a role for CB1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1R) in regulating
neurogenesis in the adult brain. To investigate this possibility, we measured neurogenesis …

Background Adult neurogenesis is a particular example of brain plasticity that is partially
modulated by the endocannabinoid system. Whereas the impact of synthetic cannabinoids …

Cannabinoids are widely abused drugs. Here we show that chronic administration of Δ9‐
tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC), the active psychotropic agent in marijuana and hashish, at …

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

Evidence is emerging that the tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α) is a potent signal that induces
neural stem cell proliferation and migration. We show that NSC self-renewal is controlled by …

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, acting through the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R), protect the brain
against ischemia and related forms of injury. This may involve inhibiting the neurotoxicity of …
