Role of Endocannabinoids in Neuron-Glial Crosstalk
TLDR
Although eCBs are emerging as neurotransmitters responsible for the regu- lation of glia-neuron crosstalk in chronic pain, the precise mechanisms leading to eCB production, the origin and the time- course of e CB release, the eCB release switch from one cell type to the other and their movement or catabolism across the glial or neural cell membrane nevertheless still remain unknown.
The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol reduces lesion expansion and white matter damage after spinal cord injury
The Endocannabinoid System and Oligodendrocytes in Health and Disease
TLDR
In several models of rodent encephalomyelitis, chronic treatment with cannabinoid agonists ameliorated the damage by promoting OPC survival and oligodendrocyte function by promoting cannabinoid receptor-mediated ERK pathways.
Palmitoylethanolamide in homeostatic and traumatic central nervous system injuries.
TLDR
An overview of current knowledge of PEA effect on glial functions in the brain and how targeting glial-specific pathways might ultimately impact the development of therapies for clinical management of neurodegenerative disorders is provided.

Changes in spinal and supraspinal endocannabinoid levels in neuropathic rats
Modulation of the endocannabinoid system by focal brain ischemia in the rat is involved in neuroprotection afforded by 17β‐estradiol
TLDR
It is shown that the endocannabinoid system is implicated in the pathophysiology of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion‐induced brain damage, and that neuroprotection afforded by estrogen is coincident with a re‐establishment of anandamide levels in the ischemic striatum through a mechanism that needs to be investigated further.
Effects of Palmitoylethanolamide on Signaling Pathways Implicated in the Development of Spinal Cord Injury
TLDR
It is indicated that PEA reduces inflammation and tissue injury associated with SCI and suggest a regulatory role for endogenous PPAR-α signaling in the inflammatory response associated with spinal cord trauma.
The endocannabinoid 2-AG protects the blood–brain barrier after closed head injury and inhibits mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis disrupts endocannabinoid-mediated neuroprotection.
TLDR
It is shown that cell damage induced by EAE does not lead to increase in eCBs, even though cannabinoid receptors are functional because synthetic cannabinoid agonists are known to confine EAE-induced lesions, and IFN-gamma, which is released by primed T cells invading the CNS, disrupts eCB-mediated neuroprotection while maintaining functional cannabinoid receptors.
Anandamide content is increased and CB1 cannabinoid receptor blockade is protective during transient, focal cerebral ischemia
Anandamide, but not 2‐arachidonoylglycerol, accumulates during in vivo neurodegeneration
TLDR
Analysis of cannabinoid CB1 receptor mRNA expression and binding capacity revealed that cortical subfields exhibited an up‐regulation of these parameters following mild concussive head trauma and exposure to NMDA receptor blockade, which may suggest that mild to moderate brain injury may trigger elevated endocannabinoid activity via concomitant increase of anandamide levels, but not 2‐AG, andCB1 receptor density.
Downregulation of the CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor and Related Molecular Elements of the Endocannabinoid System in Epileptic Human Hippocampus
TLDR
Findings show that a neuroprotective machinery involving endocannabinoids is impaired in epileptic human hippocampus and imply that downregulation of CB1 receptors and related molecular components of the endoc cannabinoidoid system may facilitate the deleterious effects of increased network excitability.
