Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, increase of fear- and anxiety-related behaviors and reaction time in attention tasks and importantly, a marked deficit of spatial and operational memory. AD is also known by neurofibrilar tangles, generated by hyperphosphorylated tau protein accumulation. Studies showed that cannabinoid drugs i…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the gradual and continuous increase of multiple cognitive deficits. Cognitive alterations are correlated with reduction of volume and/or synaptic plasticity in regions such as hippocampus and neocortex. Recent studies indicate a great influence of the endocannabinoid system on AD progress, regulating mechanisms of neuroplasticity and cognitive …
