Type-1 (CB1) cannabinoid receptor promotes neuronal differentiation and maturation of neural stem cells.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are self-renewing cells that can differentiate into multiple neural lineages and repopulate regions of the brain after injury. We have investigated the role of endocannabinoids (eCBs), endogenous cues that modulate neuronal functions including neurogenesis, and their recepto...
