“…The deletion of CB2Rs in mice induces schizophrenia-like symptoms, such as impairment in sensory-motor gating, an increase in depressive behavior, and a deficit in long-term, passive avoidance memory (Ortega-Alvaro et al, 2011; Garcia-Gutierrez et al, 2013). In humans, the polymorphism of CNR2 is related to schizophrenia (Ishiguro et al, 2010; Tong et al, 2013), depression (Onaivi et al, 2008) and bipolar disorder (Minocci et al, 2011). Activation of CB2Rs reduces pain (for review, Anand et al, 2009) (but also see Brownjohn and Ashton, 2012), impulsive behaviors (Navarrete et al, 2012) and locomotor activity (Valenzano et al, 2005; Onaivi et al, 2008; Xi et al, 2011) of rodents, and also vomiting of ferrets (Van Sickle et al, 2005).…”
