Cannabinoid-dependent potentiation of inhibition at eye opening in mouse V1
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 Cannabinoid signaling is a well established regulator of synaptic transmission. Recent work demonstrated that cannabinoid release is necessary for the induction of inhibitory synaptic plasticity.

The endocannabinoid/cannabinoid receptor 2 system protects against cisplatin-induced hearing loss [PDF]
, 2018 Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) in the rat cochlea which was induced by cisplatin. In an organ of Corti-derived cell culture model, it was also shown that an agonist of the CB2R protected these cells ...

Cannabinoids modulate food preference and consumption in Drosophila melanogaster
Scientific Reports, 2021 Cannabinoids have an important role in regulating feeding behaviors via cannabinoid receptors in mammals. Cannabinoids also exhibit potential therapeutic functions in Drosophila melanogaster, or fruit fly that lacks cannabinoid receptors.

The therapeutic aspects of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) for cancer and their development: from nature to laboratory [PDF]
, 2016 The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors, which are widely distributed in mammalian tissues. ECS regulates various cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system functions inside cells.
