Valuable Methods for Studying the Unknown Ubitiquous Cannabinoid Physiological Control System
Klappentext zu „Marijuana and Cannabinoid Research “
A cutting-edge collection of readily reproducible in vitro and in vivo methods to elucidate the mechanisms associated with cannabinoid function in health and disease. The techniques can be used in studies across the board from genes to behavior. The molecular neurobiological methods are invaluable in analyzing the structure, the polymorphisms, and the molecular expression of the cannabinoid receptors (CBrs), as well as their association with polysubstance abuse. There are also methods for localizing cannabinoid receptors in different systems, visualizing cannabinoid effects using brain slice imaging and elctrophysiological approaches, and designing and synthesizing cannabinoids and endocannabinoids. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Medicine(TM) series format, each offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principles behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Autoren-Porträt
Marijuana and Cannabinoid Research Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource on the methods and protocols for studying the previously unknown ubiquitous cannabinoid physiological control system in the human body and brain. Chapters include methods and protocols presented by experts using their specialized techniques to resolve issues from genes to behavior. A number of methodologies presented will find application in studying mental and neurological disorders. This text will help unravel the specific mechanisms of marijuana-cannabinoid actions which are of potentially central importance in biology and therapeutics.
