| Description | Endocannabinoid system is involved in the neurobiological mechanism underlying drug addiction in all known kinds of drugs including nicotine and alcohol. Recently, relationships between endocannabinoids and biological nature of depression and eating disorders were recognised. Polymorphisms of genes encoding CB1 receptors and genes encoding main degradating enzyme FAAH responsible for pathology in motivation and cognition were identified. |
