Impairment of Synaptic Plasticity by Cannabis, Δ9-THC, and Synthetic Cannabinoids.

Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in medicine May 3, 2021 Alexander F. Hoffman, Eun-Kyung Hwang, Carl R. Lupica preprint

The ability of neurons to dynamically and flexibly encode synaptic inputs via short- and long-term plasticity is critical to an organism's ability to learn and adapt to the environment. Whereas synaptic plasticity may be encoded by pre- or postsynaptic mechanisms, current evidence suggests that optimization of learning requires both forms of plasticity. Endogenous cannabinoids (eCBs) play...
