Endocannabinoids in the dentate gyrus.

Recent years have produced rapid and enormous growth in our understanding of endocannabinoid-mediated signaling in the CNS. While much of the recent progress has focused on other areas of the brain, a significant body of evidence has developed that indicates the presence of a robust system for endocannabinoid-mediated signaling in the dentate gyrus. This chapter will provide an overview of our current understanding of that system based on available anatomical and physiological data.
