The presence and function of CB₂ receptors in central nervous system (CNS) neurons are controversial. We report the expression of CB₂ receptor messenger RNA and protein localization on brainstem neurons. These functional CB₂ receptors in the brainstem were activated by a CB₂ receptor agonist, 2-arachidonoylglycerol, and by elevated endogenous level...
