Activation requirements for metabotropic glutamate receptors.
It has been common experimentally to use high frequency, tetanic, stimulation to activate metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in cortex and thalamus. To determine what type of stimulation is actually necessary to activate mGluRs we examined the effects of varying stimulation duration and intensity on activating mGluR responses. We used a thalamocortical and an intracortical slice preparat...
متن کاملMetabotropic Glutamate Receptors
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR)s are G-protein-coupled receptors that function as modulators of synaptic function and glutamate transmission. Post-synaptically localized subtype 5 mGlu5 receptors are co-localized with adenosine A2a, dopamine, and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and regulate local protein synthesis and messenger RNA (mRNA) translation at synapses, and are thus ide...
متن کاملModulatory Effects of Activation of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors on
17 Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are widely distributed in the central nervous 18 system and modulate the release of neurotransmitters in different ways. We have previously 19 shown that activation of presynaptic group II mGluRs reduces the gain of GABAergic inputs in 20 both primary visual and auditory cortices (V1 and A1). In the present study, we sought to 21 determine whether ac...
متن کاملCorticothalamic activation modulates thalamic firing through glutamate "metabotropic" receptors.
The mammalian thalamus forms an obligatory relay for nearly all sensory information that reaches the cerebral cortex. The transmission of sensory information by the thalamus varies in a state-dependent manner, such that during slow wave sleep or drowsiness thalamic responsiveness is markedly reduced, whereas during the waking, attentive state transmission is enhanced. Although activation of bra...
متن کاملMetabotropic glutamate receptors inhibit microglial glutamate release
Pro-inflammatory stimuli evoke an export of glutamate from microglia that is sufficient to contribute to excitotoxicity in neighbouring neurons. Since microglia also express various glutamate receptors themselves, we were interested in the potential feedback of glutamate on this system. Several agonists of mGluRs (metabotropic glutamate receptors) were applied to primary rat microglia, and the ...
