Brain Region Functions Associated With Region
Brain regions in which cannabinoid receptors are abundant
Cerebellum - Body movement coordination
Hippocampus - Learning and memory
Cerebral cortex, especially cingulate, frontal, and parietal regions - Higher cognitive functions
Nucleus accumbens - Reward
Basal ganglia
* Substantia nigra pars reticulata
* Entopeduncular nucleus
* Globus pallidus
* Putamen - Movement control
Brain regions in which cannabinoid receptors are moderately concentrated
Hypothalamus - Body housekeeping functions (body temperature regulation, salt and water balance, reproductive function)
Amygdala - Emotional response, fear
Spinal cord - Peripheral sensation, including pain
Brain stem - Sleep and arousal, temperature regulation, motor control
Central gray - Analgesia
Nucleus of the solitary tract - Visceral sensation, nausea and vomiting
