摘要：

Cannabinoids and alcohol activate the same reward pathways, and the cannabinoid CB1 receptor system plays an important role in regulating the positive reinforcing properties of alcohol. Indeed, both cannabinoids and alcohol cause the release of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens. Recent research suggests that ethanol preference, which is dependent on CB, receptors, is higher in young mice than in old mice, and higher in female mice than in male mice.
