Cannabinoid CB1 receptors and dopamine D4 receptors in the brain form receptor complexes that interact but the physiological function of these interactions in intact tissue remains unclear. In vertebrate retina, rods and cones, which are connected by gap junctions, express both CB1 and D4 receptors. Because the retinal circadian clock uses cone D4 receptors to decrease rod-cone gap junction coupling in the day and to increase it at night, we studied whether an interaction between cone CB1 and D4 receptors increases the day/night difference in rod-cone coupling compared to D4 receptors acting alone. Using electrical recording and injections of Neurobiotin tracer into individual cones in intact goldfish retinas, we found that SR141716A (a CB1 receptor antagonist) application alone in the day increased both the extent of rod-cone tracer coupling and rod input to cones, which reaches cones via open gap junctions. Conversely, SR141716A application alone at night or SR141716A application in the day following 30-min spiperone (a D4 receptor antagonist) application decreased both rod-cone tracer coupling and rod input to cones. These results show that endogenous activation of cone CB1 receptors decreases rod-cone coupling in the day when D4 receptors are activated but increases it at night when D4 receptors are not activated. Therefore, the D4 receptor-dependent day/night switch in the effects of CB1 receptor activation results in an enhancement of the day/night difference in rod-cone coupling. This synergistic interaction increases detection of very dim large objects at night and fine spatial details in the day.
