"Brain cannabis effects movement learning ability"

Technology channels () message: some people have a talent for sport, who seems to lack of motor nerve. Japan scientists of the research results show that the human brain in a role similar to cannabis material "brain cannabis" might be causing this difference, because it can affect the ability of the cerebellum of motor learning.

Brain cells through the exchange of glutamic acid, and other material delivery information. According to the Japan Asahi Shimbun has recently reported that Japan Osaka University Professor Kano wild party extension and others had in 2001 found that "brain cannabis" acts as a brain cells "braking device" role. Whenever the glutamic acid secretion, information transfer excess, brain cells will release a "brain cannabis" inhibitory neurons of the overly excited.

Get wild side out and others in a new study found that "brain cannabis" receptor "CB1" obvious focus on controlling the movement of cerebellar neurons. They make through genetic manipulation "of experimental rat CB1 receptor" cannot play its role, and then watch them movement function changes.

Scientists make normal mice to listen to a specific signal tone, immediately after the experimental rat eyes perimeter shock. A week later, 70 per cent of normal mice as soon as you hear the signal tone will blink. But "not CB1 receptor" play a role in experimental rats learn to hear the signal tone after batting less than 30 per cent, compared with experiments before almost did not change.

Scientists believe that through genetic manipulation of mouse cerebellum may occur in the brain due to the "cannabis" exception generated neurons information delivery exceptions, causing neural reflex, motor type of learning is not functioning.
