A role for the cannabinoid 1 receptor in neuronal differentiation of adult spinal cord progenitors in vitro is revealed through pharmacological inhibition and genetic deletion
In contrast to the adult brain, the adult spinal cord is a non-neurogenic environment. Understanding how to manipulate the spinal cord environment to promote the formation of new neurons is an attractive therapeutic strategy for spinal cord injury and disease. The cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) has...
