Altered responses of dopamine D3 receptor null mice to excitotoxic or anxiogenic stimuli: Possible involvement of the endocannabinoid and endovanilloid systems

Dopamine and the endocannabinoids, anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, interact at several levels in the brain, with the involvement of both cannabinoid CB1 receptors and transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1) channels (which are alternative anandamide receptors).
