CB1 cannabinoid receptor expression in the striatum: Association with corticostriatal circuits and developmental regulation

Corticostriatal circuits mediate various aspects of goal-directed behavior and are critically important for basal ganglia-related disorders. Activity in these circuits is regulated by the endocannabinoid system via stimulation of CB1 cannabinoid receptors. CB1 receptors are highly expressed in proje...
