Corticosteroid dependent and independent effects of a cannabinoid agonist on core temperature, motor activity, and prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle reflex in Wistar rats

Abstract

The most parsimonious interpretation of these effects is that CP55940 has some effects through corticosteroid-dependent actions and opposite effects by corticosteroid-independent actions. These two putative sites of actions affect stimulus gating opposite to their effects on response gating.
