We demonstrate here that both HU210 and the
endocannabinoid AEA promote proliferation
of embryonic hippocampal NS/PCs without
significant effects on their differentiation,
resulting in more newborn neurons.
The effects of HU210 on adult hippocampal
neurogenesis were quantified in freely
moving rats and were correlated with
behavioural testing.
We show that 1 month after chronic HU210
treatment, rats display increased newborn
neurons in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and
significantly reduced measures of anxiety-
and depression-like behaviour.
Thus, cannabinoids appear to be the only
illicit drug whose capacity to produce
increased hippocampal newborn neurons is
positively correlated with its anxiolytic- and
antidepressant-like effects.
