Excitement Reduces Inhibition via Endocannabinoids
Previous work has suggested a role for retrograde synaptic signaling via endogenous cannabinoids in regulating the inhibitory control of neuronal activity. In this issue of Neuron, Chevaleyre and Castillo provide evidence for another form of endocannabinoid-mediated depression of hippocampal inhibition, which is activity dependent and long lasting.
متن کاملEndocannabinoids Losing Inhibition to Increase Learning Capacity?
Recent work has implicated endocannabinoids in various forms of synaptic plasticity. In this issue of Neuron, Chevaleyre and Castillo describe a new mechanism whereby a CB1 receptor-mediated LTD of inhibitory synaptic transmission facilitates the subsequent induction of LTP in a narrow band of synapses surrounding a region of potentiated synapses.
متن کاملOrexin neurons use endocannabinoids to break obesity-induced inhibition.
Obesity is a pressing health problem affecting more than one-third of adults in the United States and Europe. Besides their increased risk to develop cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, metabolic disturbances in overweight individuals affect sleeping behavior, promoting arousal and feeding (1). Task-dependent recruitment of diverse neuropeptidergic neurons in hypothalamic nuclei orchest...

theory? What is its legacy today in biology? Quite a few mathematical fads have burst onto the popular press, promising great new insights into biology: information theory, catastrophe theory, chaos theory, and most recently complexity theory, to name just a few. All were quite useful in their founding fields (except complexity, which has proven slippery to even define), but all failed to live ...
متن کاملEndocannabinoids induce ileitis in rats via the capsaicin receptor (VR1).
Intraluminal administration of the endocannabinoids N-arachidonoyl-ethanolamine (anandamide) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) causes inflammation similar to that caused by Clostridium difficile toxin A in the rat ileum. The effects of anandamide and 2-AG were significantly inhibited by pretreatment with the specific capsaicin receptor (vanilloid receptor subtype 1; VR1) antagonist capsazepine....
