Notes
Hypothesis
- DHA may potentiate synaptic plasticity (and cognition) via retrograde CB1 signaling.
Model
- Use omega 3 (DHA) fatty acids as substrate for docosahexaenoylethanolamide (DHEA) hydrolysis
- Protect the hippocampus and neurons from stress induced damage.
- CB1: A synaptogenic receptor
