Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cannabinoid receptors located in the hippocampus are indeed responsible for the memory effects of cannabinoids. This is because the hippocampus plays a crucial role in the formation of new memories. Cannabinoid receptors are not most highly concentrated in the brain stem, which is crucial for basic life functions such as breathing and heart rate, where cannabinoids have less effect. They are found in the basal ganglia and the frontal cortex, which are involved in muscle control and decision-making, respectively.
