CB receptors are present in highest concentration in the brain but can also be found in the periphery.

CB receptors are mostly located in the immune and haematopoietic systems.

The CB receptor is found in the brain.

It is used in scientific research for mapping the distribution of CB receptors.

Research suggests that the majority of CB receptors are coupled through G proteins.

CB receptors are expressed throughout the basal ganglia and have well established effects on movement in rodents.

CB receptors appear to be responsible for the euphoric and anticonvulsive effects of cannabis.

CB receptors appear to be responsible for the anti-inflammatory and possibly other therapeutic effects of cannabis.

CB receptors are also found throughout the gastrointestinal system, where they modulate intestinal inflammatory response.

Many selective ligands for the CB receptor are now available.
