The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) that are expressed and not expressed on astrocytes in the brain have not been defined. While immunohistochemistry and in situ mRNA hybridization have been used on a limited basis to address this question, they do not readily enable the proportion of astr
The cellular and subcellular localization of the mGluR5 metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype was studied in the rat cerebellar cortex, by using the preembedding immunoperoxidase and immunogold techniques. Light microscopic observations revealed an abundant, intense labeling of neurons in the gra
In non-synchronized, subconfluent secondary cultures of rat cortical astrocytes, the selective group-I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor agonist 3,5dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) increased [methyl-3 H]-thymidine incorporation. This effect was mediated by the activation of the mGlu5 receptor, whi
Low frequency-induced short-term synaptic plasticity was investigated in hippocampal slices with 60-electrode recording array. Remarkably, the application of low-frequency stimulation (1 Hz) for a short duration (3-5 min) resulted in the induction of a slow-onset longterm potentiation (LTP) in the i
