Default Mode Network in the Effects of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on Human Executive Function
Evidence is increasing for involvement of the endocannabinoid system in cognitive functions including attention and executive function, as well as in psychiatric disorders characterized by cognitive deficits, such as schizophrenia. Executive function appears to be associated with both modulation of active networks and inhibition of activity in the default mode network. In the present study, we ...
متن کاملΔ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Prevents Methamphetamine-Induced Neurotoxicity
Methamphetamine (METH) is a potent psychostimulant with neurotoxic properties. Heavy use increases the activation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), production of peroxynitrites, microglia stimulation, and induces hyperthermia and anorectic effects. Most METH recreational users also consume cannabis. Preclinical studies have shown that natural (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, Δ9-THC) and synthe...
متن کاملHigh-throughput toxicological analysis of Δ9-THC and 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-THC by LC/MS/MS
A new high-throughput liquid chromatography / tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in suspect plant material and of its principal metabolite, 11-nor-9carboxy-Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH), in human urine was developed and validated. The separation was performed on a Zorbax SB-C18 column under isocratic conditions using a mixture o...
متن کاملChemical Cannabis; the New Trend of Addiction in Iran
Synthetic cannabinoids (SC) are a heterogeneous group of substances with a high affinity for cannabinoid receptors. Unlike Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), synthetic cannabinoids are incredibly potent, highly productive, have more affinity for the Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), and Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), and are designed to accelerate the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol. Also, the...
متن کاملGenetic Dissection of Behavioural and Autonomic Effects of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol in Mice
Marijuana and its main psychotropic ingredient Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exert a plethora of psychoactive effects through the activation of the neuronal cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), which is expressed by different neuronal subpopulations in the central nervous system. The exact neuroanatomical substrates underlying each effect of THC are, however, not known. We tested locomotor,...
