Journal ArticleDOI
CB1 cannabinoid receptors mediate anxiolytic effects: convergent genetic and pharmacological evidence with CB1-specific agents.
TL;DR: The studies on the behavioural effects of the cannabinoid antagonist SR-141716A and theCB1 antagonist AM-251 show that the CB1 and the novel cannabinoid receptor mediate anxiolytic and anxiogenic effects, respectively, which suggests that agonists of the former, or antagonists of the latter, are promising new compounds in the pharmacotherapy of anxiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast Synaptic Subcortical Control of Hippocampal Circuits

TL;DR: A form of subcortical control of cortical information processing whereby strong, spatiotemporally precise excitatory input from midbrain serotonergic neurons produces a robust activation of hippocampal interneurons is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The KCl cotransporter, KCC2, is highly expressed in the vicinity of excitatory synapses in the rat hippocampus
TL;DR: KCC2 located in the same microenvironment may provide a Cl– extrusion mechanism to deal with both ion and water homeostasis in addition to its role in setting the driving force of Cl– currents involved in fast postsynaptic inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precision and variability in postsynaptic target selection of inhibitory cells in the hippocampal CA3 region
TL;DR: The results show that a restricted set of inhibitory cells, with somata within or close to CA3 stratum pyramldale, possess variable patterns of axonal arborization.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two previously unknown inhibitors of monoacylglycerol lipase, a presynaptic enzyme that hydrolyzes 2-AG, increase 2- AG levels and enhance retrograde signaling from pyramidal neurons to GABAergic terminals in the hippocampus are shown.
