Working memory- and anxiety-related behavioral effects of repeated nicotine as a stressor: the role of cannabinoid receptors

Conclusions: Although working memory impairment- and anxiety-like behavioral alterations were commonly induced in the NC, IM, and NC-IM groups and the therapeutic involvement of CB receptors was shown, there were discrepancies in the types of effective CB ligands between the working memory- and anxiety-related behaviors. The differential involvements of CB receptor subtypes and indirectly activated neurotransmitter systems may contribute to these discrepancies. (Source: BMC Neuroscience - Latest articles)
