Neuropharmacology 1998, 37:1445-1458. Comprehensive examination of the roles of mGlu receptors in several forms of hippocampal plasticity using the most potent mGlu receptor antagonist (LY341495) described to date. The findings suggest that the mGlu receptor involved in the induction of LTP is not one of the cloned receptors (Figure 1 ), and also distinguishes between LTD and depotentiation pharmacologically.

Neuropharmacology 1997, 36:1517-1532. In the adult rat CA1 region, group I mGlu receptor agonists induce a form of LTD that is greatly enhanced by increasing the excitability of the slice. This form of LTD does not cross-saturate with low-frequency stimulation induced LTD and is temporarily reversed by application of mGlu receptor antagonists.

During increased activity of mossy fibres, the synaptic concentration of glutamate is increased and the clearance slowed such that presynaptic mGlu receptors are activated. These receptors act to decrease glutamate release and may play a role in the induction of LTD.
