Cover Story: The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus regulates the stress response and sexual behavior, as well as energy metabolism, through its magnocellular and parvocellular neurosecretory cells. Its neuronal activity in time relies on retrograde neuromodulation by endocannabinoids, whose nanoarchitecture, especially during neuronal development, remains undescribed. We present a spatiotemporal map of both the 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide (AEA) signaling cassettes in neurons and astrocytes. We find high expression levels of the type 1 cannabinoid receptor (Cnr1), as well as the enzymatic machinery controlling 2-AG availability throughout neuronal development, while astrocytes notably lacked Cnr1. In sum, we posit that 2-AG signaling is configured to modulate the activity of afferent inputs, rather than local neurocircuits. View this paper
