Abstract
► Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates microglial cells in a region, time and dose-dependent manner. ► LPS induced an increase of CB1 mRNA in the hippocampus and brainstem. ► LPS treatment reduced CB1 immunoreactivity in the CA3 pyramidal layer of the hippocampus. ► Reduced CB1 expression was largely restricted to glutamatergic terminals. ► Peripheral LPS treatment leads to limited changes in CB1 expression in the brain.
