Expression and localization of CB1R, NAPE-PLD, and FAAH in the vervet monkey nucleus accumbens
Abstract Extensive rodent literature suggests that the endocannabinoid (eCB) system present in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) modulates dopamine (DA) release in this area. However, expression patterns of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R), the synthesizing enzyme N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine pho...
