Caffeine and cannabinoid receptors modulate impulsive behavior in an animal model of attentional deficit and hyperactivity disorder
Abstract
Abstract Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) is characterized by impaired levels of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. Adenosine and endocannabinoid systems tightly interact in the modulation of dopamine signaling, involved in the neurobiology of ADHD . In this study, we evaluated the modulating effects of the cannabinoid and adenosine systems in a tolerance to delay of reward task using the most widely used animal model of ADHD . Spontaneous Hypertensive Rats ( SHR ) and Wistar–Kyoto rats were treated chronically or acutely with caffeine, a non‐selective adenosine receptor antagonist, or acutely with a cannabinoid agonist ( WIN 55212‐2, WIN ) or antagonist ( AM 251). Subsequently, animals were tested in the tolerance to delay of reward task, in which they had to choose between a small, but immediate, or a large, but delayed, reward. Treatment with WIN decreased, whereas treatment with AM 251 increased the choices of the large reward, selectively in SHR rats, indicating a CB 1 receptor‐mediated increase in impulsive behavior. An acute pre‐treatment with caffeine blocked WIN effects. Conversely, a chronic treatment with caffeine increased the impulsive phenotype and potentiated the WIN effects. The results indicate that both cannabinoid and adenosine receptors modulate impulsive behaviormore »

An acute pre‐treatment with caffeine blocked WIN effects. Conversely, a chronic treatment with caffeine increased the impulsive phenotype and potentiated the WIN effects. The results indicate that both cannabinoid and adenosine receptors modulate impulsive behavior in SHR : the antagonism of cannabinoid receptors might be effective in reducing impulsive symptoms present in ADHD ; in addition, caffeine showed the opposite effects on impulsive behavior depending on the length of treatment. These observations are of particular importance to consider when therapeutic manipulation of CB 1 receptors is applied to ADHD patients who consume coffee.},
