Developmental changes from adolescence to adulthood of CB1 mRNA levels in male and female, non-handled and handled rats.

Brain region	Male		Female
	NH	H	NH	H
CPu	↑49.9%	↓36.6%	↓14.3%	ns
BLA	↓21.2%	↓26.6%	ns	↓29.9%

Data are expressed as percentage of change of CB1 mRNA levels of P90 compared to P40 rats. ns: not significant; NH: non-handled rats, H: neonatally handled rats; see abbreviation list for brain regions.
