N-[[1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]carbonyl]-3-methyl-D-valine methyl ester (5F-ADB) is one of the most potent synthetic cannabinoids and elicits severe psychotic symptoms in humans, sometimes causing death. To investigate the neuronal mechanisms underlying its toxicity, we examined the effects of 5F-ADB on midbrain dopaminergic and
Migraine is a neurological debilitating disorder. Previous studies have shown that cannabinoid receptor agonists have analgesic effects in various models of pain. In this study, therefore, we investigated anti-nociceptive effects of WIN 55,212-2, and the role of either CB1 or

Direct-acting antivirals have significantly improved treatment outcomes in chronic hepatitis C (CHC), but side effects, drug resistance and cost mean that better treatments are still needed. Lipid metabolism is closely linked with hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication, and endocannabinoids are

Recently we have shown that capsaicin attenuates the strength of LTP in the lateral amygdala (LA) and demonstrated that this effect is mediated by the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel TRPV1. Here we further show that capsaicin, which is thought
Whilst cannabinoid CB2 receptors were thought to exist predominantly in immune cells in the periphery, the recent discovery of CB2 receptors in the brain has led to an increased interest in the role of these central CB2 receptors. Several studies
