Cannabinoid System of the Lateral Septum in the Modulation of Anxiety-like Behaviors in Rats.

“A large body of evidence suggests that the cannabinoid CB1 receptor plays a key role in the regulation of emotional behaviors. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of CB1 agonist and antagonist on anxiety-like behaviors in the lateral septum (LS) region of the rat brain using elevated plus maze test…

The results suggest that the cannabinoid system of the lateral septum modulates anxiety-like behavior through CB1 receptor.”
