| Abstract | The endogenous cannabinoid system is a new signaling system composed by the central (CB$_{1}$) and the peripheral (CB$_{2}$) receptors, and several lipid transmitters including anandamide and 2-arachidonylg-lycerol. This system is the target of natural cannabinoids, the psychoactive constituents ofCannabis sativa preparations (marijuana, hashish). Acute and chronic cannabis exposure has been associated with subjective feelings of pleasure and relaxation, but also to the onset of psychiatric syndromes, a decrease of the efficacy of neuroleptics and alterations in the extrapyramidal system regulation of motor activity. These actions points to a tight association of the cannabinoid system with the brain dopaminergic circuits involved in addiction, the clinical manifestation of positive symptoms of schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. The present work discuss anatomical, biochemical and pharmacological evidences supporting a role for the endogenous cannabinoid system in the modulation of dopaminergic transmission. Cannabinoid CB$_{1}$ receptors are present in dopamine projecting brain areas. In primates and certain rat strains it is also located in dopamine cells of the A8, A9 and A10 mesencephalic cell groups, as well as in hypothalamic dopaminergic neurons controlling prolactin secretion. CB$_{1}$ receptors co-localize with dopamine D$_{1}$/D$_{2}$ receptors in dopamine projecting fields. Manipulation of dopaminergic transmission is able of altere the synthesis and release of anandamide as well as the expression of CB$_{1}$ receptors. Additionally, CB$_{1}$receptors can switch its transduction mechanism to oppose to the ongoing dopamine signaling. Acute blockade of CB$_{1}$ receptor potentiates the facilitatory role of dopamine D$_{2}$ receptor agonists on movement. CB$_{1}$ stimulation results in sensitization to the motor effects of indirect dopaminergic agonists. The dynamics of these changes indicate that the cannabinoid system is an activity-dependent modulator of dopaminergic transmission, an hypothesis relevant for the design of new therapeutic strategies for dopamine-related diseases such as the psychosis and Parkinson’s disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
