Deletion of Endocannabinoid Synthesizing Enzyme DAGLฮฑ in Pcp2-Positive Cerebellar Purkinje Cells Decreases Depolarization-Induced Shortโ€“Term Synaptic Plasticity, Reduces Social Preference, and Heighte... The endocannabinoid (eCB) signaling system is robustly expressed in the cerebellum from embryonic developmental stages to adulthood. It plays a key role in regulating cerebellar synaptic plasticity an...

Our new research on cannabinoid signaling in cerebellar development and function is published in eNeuro.
