Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Dissociating role of Bassoon in glutamatergic and dopaminergic neurons in alcohol‐related behaviour and affective state in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Alcohol abuse and affective disorders are severe comorbid psychiatric diseases characterized by impaired brain synaptic transmission. The role of presynaptic scaffolding proteins coordinating presynaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter release, such as Bassoon (Bsn), in the pathogenesis of these disorders remains elusive.

In rats, neurodevelopmental disorders induced by maternal hypoxia are associated with attenuated excitatory neurotransmission in the cingulate cortex

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Maternal hypoxia is a recognised risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring. Although rodent models of hypoxia have been reported, the detailed pathogenesis of maternal hypoxia‐induced neurodevelopmental disorders remains unclear.

Directionality of longitudinal associations between frontostriatal structural connectivity and depressive symptoms in adolescent girls

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Individual differences in the structure and function of the frontostriatal reward network have been related to depression. However, there is a strong need for prospective, longitudinal studies aiming to understand the role of frontostriatal networks in depression in a developmental context.

Knocking Down the DRD2 by shRNA Expressing Plasmids in the Nucleus Accumbens Prevented the Disrupting Effect of Apomorphine on Prepulse Inhibition in Rat [PDF]

Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2015
Prepulse Inhibition (PPI), the objective measure of sensorimotor gating disturbance has being widely used in animal models of schizophrenia. Dopaminergic direct and indirect agonists impair PPI.
