A cannabinoid way to understanding brain complexity
The brain is the most complex and interconnected organ of the body. My laboratori uses the study of type-1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1) as a tool to try better understanding brain complexity.
For instance, the impact of the balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition, of astrocyte activity, of sensory perception and, more recently, of mitochondrial and bioenergetic processes on brain functions and behavior were investigate through the CB1 receptors’ lens.
