CB1 agonist ACEA protects neurons and reduces the cognitive impairment of AβPP/PS1 mice.

“The present study shows that chronic administration of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) receptor agonist arachidonyl-2-chloroethylamide (ACEA) at pre-symptomatic or at early symptomatic stages, at a non-amnesic dose, reduces the cognitive impairment observed in double AβPP(swe)/PS1(1dE9) transgenic mice from 6 months of age onwards…

… targeting the CB1 receptor could offer a versatile approach for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.”
