A putative 'pre-nervous' endocannabinoid system in early echinoderm development.
Embryos and larvae of sea urchins (Lytechinus variegatus, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Dendraster excentricus), and starfish (Pisaster ochraceus) were investigated for the presence of a functional endocannabinoid system. Anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide, AEA), was measured in early L. variegatus embryos by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. AEA sh...

متن کاملThe Endocannabinoid System: A Putative Role in Neurodegenerative Diseases
BACKGROUND Following the characterization of the chemical structure of D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive constituent of marijuana, researchers have moved on with scientific valuable explorations. OBJECTIVES The aim of this review is to highlight the role of endocannabinoid system in neurodegenerative diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS The article is a critical analysis of th...
متن کاملTowards a "Nervous System-Level" Model of Early Numerical Development
The feasibility of simulating child development with connectionist models is discussed with particular emphasis on numerical and linguistic development. The connectionist model which we use involves one or more connectionist architectures, including supervised and unsupervised algorithms, reflecting, perhaps, the symbiosis of supervised (teacher-controlled) and unsupervised learning capabilitie...
متن کاملEnzymatic pathways that regulate endocannabinoid signaling in the nervous system.
Chemical signals, or neurotransmitters, represent the fundamental mode for intercellular communication in the nervous system. The classical model for neurotransmitter action involves the uptake and storage of these small molecules into synaptic vesicles, release of vesicular contents into the synaptic cleft in response to depolarization of the presynaptic terminal by an action potential, bindin...
