His research fueled many other aspects of endocannabinoid research, whereby they have crucially been involved in. These studies include: olfactory perception, pain perception, spasticity in multiple sclerosis mouse models and the therapeutic potential of cannabis in this neurodegenerative disease, cannabis actions / endocannabinoid fuctions on neural developmentin endocannabinoid functions in several peripheral organs, including liver, involvement in the regulation of energy balance and feeding, discovery of CB1 receptor in mitochondria, discovery of novel endocannabinoid-like compounds, such as pepcan and lipoxin A4.

In summary, Prof. Lutz has given numerous novel insights into this body’s signaling system, and his discoveries have had important impacts on the field of endocannabinoid research, but also on neurosciences and physiology in general.
