“…This system is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous system (Katona & Freund, ; Lu & Mackie, ), and also in peripheral organs (Piazza, Cota, & Marsicano, ), where the CB 1 receptors are also localized in mitochondria of striated and heart muscles (Mendizabal‐Zubiaga et al, ). The eCB system regulates brain functions by acting on different cell types and cellular compartments (Busquets‐Garcia, Bains, & Marsicano, ; Gutiérrez‐Rodríguez et al, ; Katona & Freund, ; Lu & Mackie, ). The activation of CB 1 receptors in astrocytes promotes astroglial differentiation (Aguado et al, ) and mediates neuron‐astrocyte communication that plays a role in synaptic plasticity, memory and behavior (Araque et al, ; Gómez‐Gonzalo et al, ; Han et al, ; Metna‐Laurent & Marsicano, ; Navarrete & Araque, ; Navarrete, Diez, & Araque, ; Oliveira da Cruz, Robin, Drago, Marsicano, & Metna‐Laurent, 2015).…”
