    p21-activated kinase 1 restricts tonic endocannabinoid signaling in the hippocampus

    Shuting Xia, Zikai Zhou ... Zhengping Jia
    PAK1 regulates inhibitory synaptic transmission in mice through a cyclooxygenase-2 dependent restriction in tonic, but not phasic, secretion of endocannabinoids.

    Endocannabinoid dynamics gate spike-timing dependent depression and potentiation

    Yihui Cui, Ilya Prokin ... Hugues Berry
    The molecular mechanisms beyond the bidirectionality (tTLP and tLTD) of endocanabinoid spike-timing dependent synaptic plasticity have been identified.

    Hippocampal inputs engage CCK+ interneurons to mediate endocannabinoid-modulated feed-forward inhibition in the prefrontal cortex

    Xingchen Liu, Jordane Dimidschstein ... Adam G Carter
    Endocannabinoids modulate ventral hippocampal inputs to the infralimbic prefrontal cortex by dampening feed-forward inhibition mediated by cholecystokinin-expressing (CCK+) interneurons onto layer 5 intratelencephalic (IT) cells.

    Cocaine-induced endocannabinoid signaling mediated by sigma-1 receptors and extracellular vesicle secretion

    Yoki Nakamura, Dilyan I Dryanovski ... Carl R Lupica
    Non-synaptic extracellular vesicles may be involved in the release of endogenous cannabinoids in the central nervous system thereby representing a novel mechanism to mediate their effects on synaptic transmission.

    Oxytocin functions as a spatiotemporal filter for excitatory synaptic inputs to VTA dopamine neurons

    Lei Xiao, Michael F Priest, Yevgenia Kozorovitskiy
    Oxytocin, a peptide linked to the processing of socially meaningful stimuli, modulates excitatory synaptic transmission in dopaminergic neurons of ventral tegmental area via retrograde endocannabinoid signaling, acting as a pathway-specific temporal filter for synaptic inputs.

    Cannabinoid signaling modulation through JZL184 restores key phenotypes of a mouse model for Williams–Beuren syndrome

    Alba Navarro-Romero, Lorena Galera-López ... Andres Ozaita
    A mouse model of Williams–Beuren syndrome allowed us to assess the endocannabinoid system and the impact of targeting the monoacyl glycerol lipase in modulating key phenotypes such as cognitive and hypersocial phenotype as well as the cardiac phenotype.

    CB1R regulates soluble leptin receptor levels via CHOP, contributing to hepatic leptin resistance

    Adi Drori, Asaad Gammal ... Joseph Tam
    The hepatic endocannabinoid/CB1R system controls the soluble leptin receptor’s expression and/or subsequent release by Trib3-induced regulation of C/EBP homologous protein levels in hepatocytes to affect leptin signaling in the liver.

    A chemical proteomic atlas of brain serine hydrolases identifies cell type-specific pathways regulating neuroinflammation

    Andreu Viader, Daisuke Ogasawara ... Benjamin F Cravatt
    Cell-specific pathways regulate lipid transmitters and neuroinflammation in the brain.

    Endocannabinoid signaling enhances visual responses through modulation of intracellular chloride levels in retinal ganglion cells

    Loïs S Miraucourt, Jennifer Tsui ... Edward S Ruthazer
    Endocannabinoid activation of the CB1 receptor on retinal ganglion cells in the eye results in enhanced excitability and responsiveness to visual stimulation through a novel mechanism involving intracellular chloride regulation.

    Olfactory connectivity mediates sleep-dependent food choices in humans

    Surabhi Bhutani, James D Howard ... Thorsten Kahnt
    Sleep deprivation enhances energy-dense food choices and encoding of olfactory information in the human brain.
