"Endocannabinoids and Spatial Navigation: A Key Connection"

Researchers have discovered that place cells in the hippocampus release endocannabinoids to communicate position information, challenging previous beliefs about the spread and speed of these signals. This finding not only advances our understanding of spatial navigation but also opens new possibilities for addressing cognitive aspects of neurological disorders like epilepsy. Understanding endocannabinoid signaling in spatial orientation could lead to new strategies for managing cognitive issues in conditions such as epilepsy.
