Mechanisms of cannabinoid CB2 receptor-mediated reduction of dopamine neuronal excitability in mouse ventral tegmental areaResearch in context

Background: We have recently reported that activation of cannabinoid type 2 receptors (CB2Rs) reduces dopamine (DA) neuron excitability in mouse ventral tegmental area (VTA). Here, we elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Patch-clamp recordings were performed in mouse VTA slices and dissocia...
