Autism

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior.

Depression

Both plant cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system have been implicated as risk factors in the development of depression as well as therapeutic targets to treat depression.

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease and the main cause of dementia. Main common symptoms of dementia are related with memory but other cognitive processes are affected during the development of the disease.

Psychosis and Schizophrenia

schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that affects around 1% of the worldwide population. It causes psychotic behaviors, social and emotional disruptions and different cognitive impairments.

The causes of the disease are still not clear but studies show that both genetic and environmental factors have an effect on it.

δ-opioid receptor

δ-opioid receptors are primarily sensitive to opioids and enkephalins. δ-opioid receptors are not classic cannabinoid receptors but their activity is modulated by cannabinoids. Since cannabinoids have a physiological effect on δ-opioid receptors they are effectively cannabinoid receptors.

Kv4.3

Kv4.3 is a potassium channel that is involved in the repolarisation of action potentials in cardiac muscle. Kv4.3 is not a classic cannabinoid receptor but its activity is modulated by cannabinoids.

Cav3.2

Cav3.2 is a calcium channel of the T-type that is involved in many processes in the brain and other tissues. Contrary to other calcium channels Cav3.2 is activated by relatively low/negative voltages.

Cav1

Cav1 is a family of calcium channels of the L-type that are involved in many basic signalling processes in brain and muscle. Cav1's are not classic cannabinoid receptors but their activity is modulated by cannabinoids.

Cav3.3

Cav3.3 is a calcium channel of the T-type that is involved in many brain processes. Contrary to other calcium channels Cav3.3 is activated by relatively low/negative voltages.

Virodhamine

Suspected endocannabinoid.
