Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol alters flow of blood to subcortical areas of the conscious rat brain

Reads0

TLDR
During the period of cataleptoid behavior at 20 minutes after injection, the flows of blood to dorsal hippocampus, hypothalamus, cerebellum and basal ganglia were reduced significantly, whereas perfusion of cortical areas was unaffected, believed to reflect acute functional responses to Δ9THC.

Cannabinoid physiology and pharmacology: 30 years of progress

TL;DR: Delta9-Tetrahydrocannabinol from Cannabis sativa is mimicked by cannabimimetic analogs such as CP55940 and WIN55212-2, and antagonized by rimonabant and SR144528, through G-protein-coupled receptors, CB1 in the brain, and CB2 in the immune system.

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.

TL;DR: The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.

Regional studies of catecholamines in the rat brain. I. The disposition of [3H]norepinephrine, [3H]dopamine and [3H]dopa in various regions of the brain.

TL;DR: It is revealed that norepinephrine and dopamine are specifically localized in complex systems of neurons in the brain, a finding which lends support to the hypothesis that both amines may be neurotransmitters in the central nervous system.

Regional blood flow by fractional distribution of indicators.

TL;DR: K42 Cl, Rb86Cl and iodoantipyrine were given in single intravenous injections to rats and the isotope content of the organs and the arterial blood concentrations were studied as a function of isotopes.
