Abstract excerpt
Changes in endogenous cannabinoid homeostasis are associated with both ethanol-related neuroinflammation and memory decline. Extensive research is still required to unveil the role of endocannabinoid signaling activation on hippocampal microglial cells after ethanol exposure. Either microglial morphology, phenotype and recruitment may become notably altered after chronic alcohol-related neurodegeneration. Here,...
