Behavioral Decoding Reveals Cortical Endocannabinoid Potentiation during Δ9-THC Impairment

Anthony English, David J. Marcus, Khushi Yadav, Yassin Elkhouly, Allan Levy, Victoria L. Corbit, M. Ask, Anika Scedberg, Jordan Poces-Ball, Fleur Uittenbogaard, Rayna Simons, Ilana B. Witten, Larry S. Zweifel, Benjamin Bruce Land, Nephi Stella, Michael R. Bruchas

The paper investigates how THC impairs mouse behavior by altering mPFC excitatory/inhibitory balance through endocannabinoid release.

The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol is released and transported on demand via extracellular microvesicles

Verena M. Straub, Benjámin Barti, Sebastian Tommi Tandar, Anna Floor Stevens, Noëlle van Egmond, Tom van der Wel, Na Zhu, Joel Rüegger, Cas van der Horst, Laura H. Heitman, Yulong Li, Nephi Stella, J. G. Coen van Hasselt, István Katona, Mario van der Stelt

The paper proposes an on-demand release model for endocannabinoid 2-AG via microvesicles, showing stimulus-dependent release regulated by PKC, DAGL, and Arf6.
