Summary
Recent data suggest that the cannabinoid-system is involved in stress regulation and
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Low endocannabinoid signaling has been found in PTSD
patients and might even present a precondition to develop PTSD after trauma. The aim of the
current project is to investigate the impact of an activation of the cannabinoid system with
an exogenous cannabinoid (dronabinol, i.e., delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) on fear
conditioning.
