Synopsis
- Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive constituent of Cannabis sativa L (Marijuana) plant.
- Other Marijuana compounds includes Cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabinol (CBN), and Cannabigerol (CBG).
- Cannabis-derived cannabinoids are known as phytocannabinoids.
Antidepressant properties of THC
- THC stimulate anandamide biosynthesis by binding to the CB1 receptor, thus producing a antidepressant and neuroprotective effect. [1]
Neuroprotective properties of THC
- THC inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-induced beta-amyloid aggregation in Alzheimer's disease: [2]
- THC as antiglutamatergic therapy for AChE-induced neurotoxicity. [3]
- Unlike THC, caffeine is a noncompetitive reversible inhibitor of AChE.
- THC reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) through intracellular CB1 receptor activation; A potential treatment for glaucoma to prevent optic nerve damage.
Proneurogenic effect of THC on neurogenesis
- Hippocampal CB1 receptors regulate stress-induced neuroinflammation in the hippocampus. [4]
- THC enhance adult hippocampal neurogenesis through intracellular CB1 receptor activation. [5][6]
- CB1 activation promote neuronal cell proliferation, differentiation, maturation, and neurite growth. [7]
Neuropsychology of THC tolerance
- CB1 receptor sensitization can be restored by taking breaks of oral THC administration, which stimulates endocannabinoid production. [8]
Experimental
- Synaptogenic effect of THC/DHA promote hippocampal development (neurogenesis) and synaptogenesis.
- THC/DHA affect neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PC) proliferation in the hippocampus.
