11 sie 2021 · The ECS regulates and controls many of our most critical bodily functions such as learning and memory, emotional processing, sleep, temperature control, pain control, inflammatory and immune responses, and eating. The ECS is currently at the center of renewed international research and drug development.
The basic functions of the ECS have were summarized in 1998 by Professor Di Marzo as, “relax, eat, sleep, forget and protect.” There are two primary endogenous cannabinoids, or endocannabinoids, arachidonylethanolamine (AEA), nicknamed anandamide from the Sanskrit word for “bliss,” and 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG). CB 1
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a highly versatile signaling system within the nervous system. Despite its widespread localization, its functions within the context of distinct neural processes are very well discernable and specific.
15 cze 2016 · In general, physiological functions of ECS in CNS include: pain perception, motor functions, control of tremor, and spasticity, cognitive functions (i.e. learning and memory), thermogenesis, regulation of weak/sleep cycles, axonal pathfinding, synaptic plasticity and adult neurogenesis, emotional behavior, stress response via modulation of ...
At present, our understanding of the endocannabinoid system indicates a role in several physiological events such as learning, memory, pain control, motor function, thermogenesis, and reproduction, among others (Mecccariello 2016).
Bovolin P., Cottone E., Pomatto V., Fasano S., Pierantoni R., Cobellis G., Meccariello R. Endocannabinoids are involved in male vertebrate reproduction: Regulatory mechanisms at central and gonadal level.
In healthy individuals, functional imaging studies have shown that males have more CB1 than females in several brain areas, including the PFC (Laurikainen et al., 2019), a region importantly involved in the hedonic response to palatable foods (Petrovich et al., 2005; Coccurello and Maccarrone, 2018).
