Differential modulation of nociceptive versus non-nociceptive synapses by endocannabinoids

Conclusions: These findings show that endocannabinoids can differentially modulate nociceptive vs. non-nociceptive synapses and that GABAergic regulation of these synapses plays an important role in determining whether endocannabinoids have a potentiating or depressing effect.
