Cannabinoids facilitate the swallowing reflex elicited by the superior laryngeal nerve stimulation in rats
Cannabinoids have been reported to be involved in affecting various biological functions through binding with cannabinoid receptors type 1 (CB1) and 2 (CB2). The present study was designed to investigate whether swallowing, an essential component of feeding behavior, is modulated after the administ...
