Endocannabinoid modulation of a reciprocal fronto-coerulear connection in contextual discrimination.

Locarno Andrea et al.

Cell reports โ€ข 2026

# Clinical Summary This study reveals that the brain’s prefrontal cortex communicates with the locus coeruleus through a two-way circuit that uses endocannabinoids to regulate norepinephrine release and control attention and decision-making. The findings suggest that endocannabinoid signaling acts as a brake on this circuit, helping the brain fine-tune arousal and cognitive control during tasks requiring contextual discrimination.

Ebo Didier G et al.

Clinical and experimental allergy : journal of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology โ€ข 2026

# Clinical Summary Researchers developed a fluorescence enzyme immunoassay test to measure allergic antibodies (specific IgE) against Can s 3, a major allergen in cannabis, in order to establish an optimal diagnostic cutoff value for identifying cannabis allergic patients. The study compared this new test method with existing diagnostic techniques in 104 cannabis-allergic patients, 20 healthy controls, and 70 exposed non-allergic controls to determine which threshold level
