A recent review authored by Raj Balapal and Subbanna Shivakumar, titled “From Synaptic Plasticity to Neurotoxicity: Endocannabinoid Influence on Addiction and Neurodegeneration,” examines the crucial role of the endocannabinoid system (eCBS) in regulating neural pathways involved in motivation, reward, and reinforcement and highlights how long-term use of substances such as alcohol, opioids, cocaine, and methamphetamine disrupts eCBS signaling. The article is featured in the November 30 issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
