Distribution and Function of CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor and VGLUT3 in the Human Cerebral Cortex Background Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) regulates synaptic transmission through presynaptic receptors in nerve terminals, and its physiological roles are of significant clinical relevance. However, the cellular sources and synaptic targets of CB1-expressin...

Astrocytes Secrete Neurocan to Control Inhibitory Synapse Formation and Function In recent years, the role of neuron-glial cell interactions in synapse formation and maintenance of synaptic function has become a hot topic in neuroscience research. This paper, published by Dolores Irala et al. from Duke University Medical Center in the May 2024 issu...
