Abstract:

Disorder of cannabinoid systems leads to diseases of nervous system, metabolism, immune system, cardiovascular system，and digestive system and cancer. Thus, the cannabinoid receptor is considered as a potential therapeutic target for various diseases. Recent studies found the involvement of cannabinoid receptor 1 in the growth and development of central nervous system. This paper reviews the molecular mechanism of cannabinoid receptor 1 for regulating the growth of nerve.

Key words: cannabinoid receptor 1, nerve growth；molecular mechanism
