Increased seizure susceptibility and proconvulsant activity of anandamide in mice lacking fatty acid amide hydrolase.

Abstract excerpt

A number of recent in vitro studies have described a role for endogenous cannabinoids ("endocannabinoids") as transsynaptic modulators of neuronal activity in the hippocampus and other brain regions. However, the impact that endocannabinoid signals may have on activity-dependent neural events in vivo remains mostly unknown and technically challenging to address because of the short half-life of these chemical...
