According to researchers, cannabinoids can reduce cravings and help ease withdrawal for those addicted to opioids.
Researchers reveal drinking four to eight cups of coffee a day decreases neurotransmitters related to the endocannabinoid system. The study also reports caffeine increases metabolites in the androsteriod system.
When pregnant women consume diets high in polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids, an excess of endocannabinoids is produced which overloads the fetus, and impairs healthy brain development.
Vanderbilt researchers have mapped a signaling system in the brain that appears to be linked to autism.
Researchers discover THC and CBD prevent inflammation in the spinal cord and brain of mice with MS-like symptoms.
Researchers have discovered biological differences between males and females in the molecular regulation of synapses in the hippocampus.
A new study reveals how dangerous inflammations in the brain are caused during the aging process. Researchers say failure with the CB1 to control activity of immune cells may result in chronic neuroinflammation. They say it may be possible to break this vicious cycle in the future with drugs that contain THC, which is a powerful CB1 receptor activator.
A new study reports researchers have discovered a mechanism that helps explain how compounds they’re developing can suppress schizophrenia-like symptoms in mice without side effects.
Researchers have identified two gut bacterial species that produce fatty acid amides, stimulating CB1 endocannabinoid receptors in the gut which causes an increase in dopamine in the ventral striatum during exercise.
A new study in PNAS reveals how the body converts omega 3 fatty acids into endocannabinoids, which can have anti-inflammatory effects.
GABA accelerates the breakdown of endocannabinoids in the brain. Endocannabinoids are critical for emotional processing. The findings could lead to the development of new treatments for emotional behavioral disorders.
Researchers report a new drug can help to reduce symptoms of cannabis withdrawal for those with cannabis use disorder.
