Striatal adenosine-cannabinoid receptor interactions in rats over-expressing adenosine A2A receptors
Chiodi V, Ferrante A, Ferraro L, Potenza R, Armida M, Beggiato S, et al.

. 2015 Nov;
136(5):907-17.
PMID: 26526685
Adenosine A2A receptors (A2 A Rs) and cannabinoid CB1 receptors (CB1 Rs) are highly expressed in the striatum, where they functionally interact and form A2A /CB1 heteroreceptor complexes. We investigated...

PMID: 25890884
Rho GTPases are molecules critically involved in neuronal plasticity and cognition. We have previously reported that modulation of brain Rho GTPases by the bacterial toxin CNF1 rescues the neurobehavioral phenotype...
