Regulation of the Serotonergic System by Kainate in the Avian Retina
TLDR
A highly selective effect of kainate receptors in the regulation of serotonin functions in the retinal cells is suggested.
Caffeine regulates GABA transport via A1R blockade and cAMP signaling
Cell Calcium Imaging as a Reliable Method to Study Neuron–Glial Circuits
Complex dynamic cellular networks have been studied in physiological and pathological processes under the light of single-cell calcium imaging (SCCI), a method that correlates functional data based…

The GABAergic System and Endocannabinoids in Epilepsy and Seizures: What Can We Expect from Plant Oils?
TLDR
The Amazon region is an important source of plant oils that can be used for the synthesis of new fatty acid amides, which are compounds analogous to endocannabinoids, which represents an important approach for the development of new anticonvulsant therapies.
Cannabinoid Receptor Type 1 Expression in the Developing Avian Retina: Morphological and Functional Correlation With the Dopaminergic System
TLDR
A correlation between the endocannabinoid and dopaminergic systems (DSs) during the avian retina development is suggested, and activation of CB1 limits cAMP accumulation via D1 receptor activation and may influence embryological parameters during avan retina differentiation.
Cannabinoids Induce Cell Death and Promote P2X7 Receptor Signaling in Retinal Glial Progenitors in Culture
TLDR
Treatment of the cultures with WIN induced a significant increase in the number of cells responding to 1 mM ATP, suggesting that activation of cannabinoid receptors primes P2X7 receptor calcium signaling in retinal progenitors in culture.

Roles of cannabinoid receptors type 1 and 2 on the retinal function of adult mice.
TLDR
The data indicated that CB2R is likely to be involved in shaping retinal responses to light and suggest that CB1 and CB2 receptors could have different roles in visual processing.
Cannabinoid CB1 receptor signaling dichotomously modulates inhibitory and excitatory synaptic transmission in rat inner retina
TLDR
This unique feature of CB1R-mediated retrograde regulation provides a novel mechanism for modulating excitatory synaptic transmission in the inner retina, suggesting that endocannabinoid is indeed released from RGCs.
Expression of CB2 cannabinoid receptor mRNA in adult rat retina
TLDR
The presence of CB2 in retina provides new evidence for the presence ofCB2 in the central nervous system (CNS) and an excellent model for its study.
Cannabinoid CB1 receptors and ligands in vertebrate retina: localization and function of an endogenous signaling system.
TLDR
The presence and distribution of the CB1 receptor, the large amounts of 2-arachidonylglycerol found, and the effects of cannabinoids on calcium channel activity in bipolar cells suggest a substantive role for an endogenous cannabinoid signaling system in retinal physiology, and perhaps vision in general.
Glutathione-Induced Calcium Shifts in Chick Retinal Glial Cells
TLDR
The data suggest that GSH, in addition to antioxidant effects, could act signaling calcium shifts at the millimolar range particularly in Müller glia, and could regulate the release of GABA, with additional protective effects on retinal neuron-glial circuit.

Cannabinoid Receptor CB2 Modulates Axon Guidance
TLDR
In vitro and in vivo evidences are presented that the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) is expressed along the retino-thalamic pathway and exerts a modulatory action on axon guidance and demonstrates that the contribution of endocannabinoids to brain development is not solely mediated by CB1R, but also involves CB2R.
Retinal removal up‐regulates cannabinoid CB1 receptors in the chick optic tectum
TLDR
The results reveal that CB1 expression in visual structures of the adult chick brain may be negatively regulated by the retinal innervation, and suggests a role of the cannabinoid system in plasticity processes ensuing after lesions.
