http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/35088/title/A-Link-Between-Autism-and-Cannabinoids/Two autism-related mutations in a synapse-adhesion protein lead to deficits in prolonged endocannabinoid signaling in mice. It’s a surprising connection that suggests such signaling problems could be implicated in autism spectrum disorders, according to a paper published today (April 11) in Neuron.
Tonic endocannabinoid signaling is long-lasting and contrasts with the brief pulses characteristic of phasic signaling. Endocannabinoid signaling in general affects memory formation, learning, pain, and other important processes, but the distinctions between tonic and phasic signaling have been poorly understood.
“It’s a very stimulating finding which could be a real turning point in understanding tonic endocannabinoids and how this otherwise mysterious lipid signaling really works,” said Bradley Alger, a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine who was not involved in the study. But he warned that the paper, while tantalizing, did not even definitively show that endocannabinoid signaling deficits could lead to autistic behaviors in mice, let alone in humans.

@OPAs a life-long drug abuse fetishist, Syntax is desperate to associate cannabis with everything and anything.

As I'm not a drug abuse fetishist, I never learned the difference between cannabis, cannabinoids and endocannabinoids.

@previous (B)> cannabis, cannabinoids and endocannabinoids.
LOL as if I have a clue either without looking them up. But in my hood which includes some honest serious farm lands near by or older houses on very large lots as well as land once used to grow commercial flowers inside of fiberglass enclosures I no a lot of people who are expert at this subject.
Image is an example of one
