Programme:
1. Carsten T. Wotjak
(Head, RG: Neuronal Plasticity, Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich,
Germany)
As fear goes by - Role of endocannabinoids in coping with aversive
encounters
2. Alexandra Šulcová
(CEITEC MU, RG Leader, Centre for Neuroscience)
Behavioural effects of cannabinoid receptor ligands
3. Vincenzo Micale
(Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, RG: Neuronal Plasticity, Munich,
Germany:
Extinction of avoidance behavior by safety learning depends on
endocannabinoid signaling
Annotation:
Both preclinical and clinical investigations of the therapeutic use of
cannabinoids are now more prevalent than at any time in history.
Interest in cannabinoid therapeutics is a result of the discovery of the
regulatory Endocannabinoid System existing in all animals and human
who make and use internally produced cannabis-like products
(endocannabinoids) as part of the evolutionary harm reduction program.
Endocannabinoids homeostatically regulate all body systems
(cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, excretory, immune, musculoskeletal,
reproductive, and nervous). At least some cannabinoids, is
likely to have important health benefits for people suffering from
neurological and psychiatric disorders.
The workshop presents results received by research groups from "Max
Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich, Germany" and "CEITEC Masaryk
University, Brno" who are interested in pharmacological exploitation of
the endocannabinoid system on animal models of behavioural disorders
such as anxiety, depression, drug addiction and stress-induced
psychopathology.
