Interactions of the opioid and cannabinoid systems in reward: Insights from knockout studies
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015 The opioid system consists of three receptors, mu, delta, and kappa, which are activated by endogenous opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins and dynorphins). The endogenous cannabinoid system comprises lipid neuromodulators (endocannabinoids), enzymes

Cannabinoid type 1 receptors transiently silence glutamatergic nerve terminals of cultured cerebellar granule cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cannabinoid receptors are the most abundant G protein-coupled receptors in the brain and they mediate retrograde short-term inhibition of neurotransmitter release, as well as long-term depression of synaptic transmission at many excitatory synapses.
