Question:
Endocannabinoids
Author: SuzukiAnswer:
These are widely distributed brain lipid derivatives (eg, 2-arachidonyl-glycerol) that bind to receptors for cannabinoids found in marijuana. They are synthesized and released postsynaptically after membrane depolarization but travel backward acting presynaptically (retrograde) to decrease transmitter release, via their interaction with a specific cannabinoid receptor.
