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

Selective inhibition of 2-AG hydrolysis enhances endocannabinoid signaling in hippocampus.

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.
