Figure 1 Novel and Canonical Endocannabinoid Actions in Dopamine Neurons Endocannabinoid 2-AG is synthesized upon the activation of Gq protein-coupled receptors (GqPCR), such as metabotropic glutamate, orexin, and neurotensin receptors. Through its canonical actions, 2-AG serves as a retrograde signal to activate presynaptic CB1 receptors on excitatory and inhibitory synaptic terminals. Gantz and Bean (2017) show that novel postsynaptic actions of 2-AG on Kv4.3 channels inhibit A-type potassium currents and enhance the excitability of dopamine neurons.
