Abstract

Endocannabinoid signaling is distributed throughout the brain, regulating synaptic release of both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. The presence of endocannabinoid signaling within stress-sensitive nuclei of the hypothalamus, as well as upstream limbic structures such as the amygdala, suggests it may play an important role in regulating the neuroendocrine and behavioral effects of stress. The evidence reviewed here demonstrates that endocannabinoid signaling is involved in both activating and terminating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response to both acute and repeated stress. In addition to neuroendocrine function, however, endocannabinoid signaling is also recruited by stress and glucocorticoid hormones to modulate cognitive and emotional processes such as memory consolidation and extinction. Collectively, these data demonstrate the importance of endocannabinoid signaling at multiple levels as both a regulator and an effector of the stress response.

  • Recent preclinical evidence indicates that stress mobilizes the eCB system in both the brain and the periphery, and that the eCB system can modulate behavioral and endocrine responses to both acute and chronic stress.

    “Recent preclinical evidence indicates that stress also mobilizes the endocannabinoid (eCB) system in both the brain and the periphery, and that the eCB system can modulate behavioral and endocrine responses to both acute and chronic stress (Hill et al, 2010;Patel and Hillard, 2008).”
  • Exposure to stress rapidly mobilizes FAAH to deplete the signaling pool of AEA and increase neuronal excitability in the BLA.

    “Exposure to stress rapidly mobilizes FAAH to deplete the signaling pool of AEA and increase neuronal excitability in a key anxiety-mediating region – the basolateral amygdala (BLA).”
  • Stress rapidly mobilizes FAAH, depletes the signaling pool of AEA, and increases BLA excitability to drive anxiety.

    “Collectively, these findings support a model in which stress rapidly mobilizes FAAH, depletes the signaling pool of AEA, and increases BLA excitability to drive anxiety [67] (Figure 1).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
