Propofol enhances memory formation via an interaction with the endocannabinoid system.

Propofol is associated with postoperative mood alterations and induces a higher incidence of dreaming compared with other general anesthetics. These effects might be mediated by propofol's inhibitory action on fatty acid amide hydrolase, the enzyme that degrades the endocannabinoid anandamide. Because propofol is also associated with a higher incidence of traumatic memories from perioperative...

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a partial agonist of D2 dopaminergic receptors and it potentiates dopamine-mediated prolactin secretion in lactotrophs in vitro

The hallucinogenic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) have mainly been attributed to the interaction of this drug with the serotoninergic system, but it seems more likely that they are the result of the complex interactions of the drug with both the serotoninergic and dopaminergic systems. The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional actions of LSD at dopaminergic...
