Cannabidiol dose modulates behavioral response to acute and repeated administration of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol by strain and sex

Sheena Saxena, Elizabeth A Duecker, Lukmon M. Raji, Christine E. Watkins, Sufiya Khanam, Byron C. Jones, Bob M. Moore II, Megan K. Mulligan

This study shows CBD modulates THC-induced behavioral changes in mice, varying by dose, sex, and genetic background, with no effect on antinociception.

Genetic modulation of initial sensitivity to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) among the BXD family of mice

Cory Parks, Chris Rogers, Pjotr Prins, Robert W. Williams, H. Chen, Byron C. Jones, Bob M. Moore II, Megan K. Mulligan

The paper quantifies heritability of THC responses in BXD mice strains and identifies candidate genes associated with variation in initial sensitivity to THC effects.
