The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is primarily responsible for maintaining homeostasis, a
balance in internal environment (temperature, mood, and immune system) and energy input …

What we eat, when and how much, all are influenced by brain reward mechanisms that
generate “liking” and “wanting” for foods. As a corollary, dysfunction in reward circuits might …

What brain reward systems mediate motivational 'wanting'and hedonic 'liking'for food
rewards? And what roles do those systems play in eating disorders? This article surveys …

During the last few years, the endocannabinoid system has emerged as a highly relevant
topic in the scientific community. Many different regulatory actions have been attributed to …

Endocannabinoids are implicated in appetite and body weight regulation. In rodents,
anandamide stimulates eating by actions at central CB1 receptors, and hypothalamic …

OBJECTIVE: There is growing evidence for an implication of the CB1 receptor subtype of the
endocannabinoid system in the regulation of eating and fat deposition. To further define the …

Hedonic “liking” for sensory pleasures is an important aspect of reward, and excessive
'liking'of particular rewards might contribute to excessive consumption and to disorders such …

Because the CB1 receptor antagonist SR141716 was previously reported to modulate food
intake in rodents, we studied its efficacy in reducing obesity in a diet-induced obesity (DIO) …

Current train of thought in appetite research is favouring an interest in non-homeostatic or
hedonic (reward) mechanisms in relation to overconsumption and energy balance. This …

ABSTRACT A major finding—that (–)‐trans‐Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) is largely
responsible for the psychotropic effects of cannabis—prompted research in the 1970s and …
