Introduction

Notes

Hypothesis

  1. DHA may potentiate synaptic plasticity (and cognition) via retrograde CB1 signaling.
    1. DHA activate the NMDA receptor and upregulate the release of glutamate. 1
    2. Hippocampal CA3 synapses facilitate synaptic plasticity, thus learning is enhanced. 2
      1. Induction of Long-Term Potentiation/Persistent synaptic plasticity (LTP). (Pathway)
  2. Synaptic activation of neurotrophic GABA(B) receptor by endocannabinoids (CB1) promote synaptic function and learning. (Is activity-dependent synaptogenesis dependent on BDNF?) 3 4

Model

  1. The Promoter: omega 3 (fish oil supplement) fatty acids
    1. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) conjugate (in the hippocampus?) is docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide (DHEA).
  2. The Wet Blanket:
    1. Role: Protect the hippocampus and neurons from glutamate excitoxicity.
    2. CB1: A synaptogenic receptor? (most likely) 5
  3. The Vector:
    1. FAAH/anandamide hydrolysis of DHEA (a endocannabinoid like molecule)
    2. Activation of Ca2+ dependent BDNF via the TrkB pathway
