Hippocampal expression and distribution of CB1 receptors in the Amazonian rodent Proechimys: an animal model of resistance to epilepsy.

Abstract excerpt

Proechimys, a rodent living in the Amazon region, has shown resistance to developing chronic epilepsy when submitted to different experimental models. Recently, many studies have attributed a potent anticonvulsant action to cannabinoid receptor CB1. This study investigated the distribution and expression of the CB1 receptor in the hippocampal formation of Proechimys using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting...
