This study identifies primary sensory neurons as the cell type mediating anti-allodynic effects of CB2 agonists and reveals a sexually dimorphic sparing of morphine tolerance in male mice.

This study shows that stress increases cocaine self-administration in rats and that blocking CB1 receptors in the mesolimbic system reduces this effect and relapse.

This study shows that CB2 receptors in peripheral sensory neurons are essential for the antinociceptive effects of CB2 agonists and their ability to reverse morphine tolerance in a neuropathic pain model.
