Background Prenatal cannabidiol (CBD) consumption is increasing, driven by a perception of safety relative to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). However, the neurodevelopmental risks of gestational CBD remain largely uncharacterized. Methods Using a sex-disaggregated framework, we investigated adult (P100–140) mouse offspring following in utero exposure (GD5-18; 3 mg/kg) to THC or CBD. Behavioral...
Alterations of long-term synaptic plasticity have been proposed to participate in the development of addiction. To preserve synaptic functions, homeostatic processes must be engaged after exposure to abused drugs. At the mouse cortico-accumbens synapses, a single in vivo injection of Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) suppresses endocannabinoid-mediated long-term depression. Using biochemical...
