Cannabinoid modulation of midbrain urocortin 1 neurones during acute and chronic stress
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 07/16/2012
Derks NM et al. – The authors provide novel evidence the absence of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) alters the Ucn1 mRNA and peptide levels in Edinger–Westphal nucleus (EWcp) neurones, concomitant with an augmented stress response and increased anxiety–like behaviour.
