Coactivation of CB1 and GPR55 promotes GABA release and motor behavior at striatonigral terminals through increased dimerization induced by CB1 activation [PDF]
CB1 and GPR55 receptors form heteromers in striatal neurons; however, the effects of these heteromers on GABA release at their terminals and their impact on motor behavior remain unknown. In this study, we investigate the presence of CB1-GPR55 heteromers

Neuroglial CB1 receptors modulate hippocampal processes in a sex-dependent manner [PDF]
Background Navigation and memory are hippocampal functions that are essential for survival. One of the key modulators of hippocampal activity is the endocannabinoid system through the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1).

Corticostriatal circuits mediate various aspects of goal-directed behavior and are critically important for basal ganglia-related disorders. Activity in these circuits is regulated by the endocannabinoid system via stimulation of CB1 cannabinoid ...

Internalization and Recycling of the CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor [PDF]
Abstract : Tolerance develops rapidly to cannabis, cannabinoids, and related drugs acting at the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. However, little is known about what happens to the receptor as tolerance is developing. In this study, we have found that CB1 receptors are rapidly internalized following agonist binding and receptor activation ...

Targeting mechanosensitive cannabinoid receptor 1 with isoflavone prodrugs attenuates atherosclerotic endothelial dysfunction [PDF]
Background Despite therapeutic advances, atherosclerosis remains a major global health challenge. Most current treatments target systemic risk factors rather than the diseased vascular wall.

Novel putative ligands of cannabinoid receptors: synthesis and effects on cell signaling and neuronal functions [PDF]
Cannabinoid ligands are known to possess neuroprotective actions and may have utility in the treatment of neurodegeneration. The major targets for cannabinoids include the classical CB1 cannabinoid receptor, as well as the novel cannabinoid receptor ...

Developmental and visual input-dependent regulation of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor in the mouse visual cortex. [PDF]
The mammalian visual system exhibits significant experience-induced plasticity in the early postnatal period. While physiological studies have revealed the contribution of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1) to developmental plasticity in the primary ...

Summary: While blockade of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) has been shown to attenuate diet-induced obesity (DIO), its relative role in different cell types has not been tested.

Modulation of pilocarpine-induced seizures by cannabinoid receptor 1. [PDF]
Administration of the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine is commonly used to induce seizures in rodents for the study of epilepsy. Activation of muscarinic receptors has been previously shown to increase the production of endocannabinoids in the brain ...
