Introduction

Notes

Hypothesis

  1. DHA may potentiate synaptic plasticity (and cognition) via retrograde CB1 signaling.
    1. DHA activate the (presynaptic?) NMDA receptor and upregulate the release of glutamate. [1]
      1. DHA-induced synapses (CA3) enhance synaptic plasticity, thus learning is enhanced. [2]
      2. Induction of Long-Term Potentiation/Persistent synaptic plasticity (LTP). (Pathway)
    2. Activation of inhibitory GABAergic synapse (GABA(B) receptor ?) by endocannabinoids (DHA) may promote synaptic function and learning. [3]
      1. TrkB receptor regulate activity-dependent synaptogenesis and BDNF expression [4]

Model

  1. The Promoter: omega 3 (fish oil supplement) fatty acids
    1. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) conjugate (in the hippocampus?) is docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide (DHEA).
  2. The Wet Blanket:
    1. Role: Protect the hippocampus and neurons from glutamate excitoxicity.
    2. CB1: A synaptogenic receptor? (most likely) [5]
  3. The Vector:
    1. FAAH/anandamide hydrolysis of DHEA (a endocannabinoid like molecule)
    2. TrkB (2.7.10.1) potentiate GABAergic synaptic activation:
      1. BDNF expression is Ca2+ and CREB dependent [5]
