Abstract

The mGluR-mediated EPSP at parallel fibre-Purkinje cell synapses in e cerebellum was blocked concentration-dependently and reversibly by antagonists acting selectively on group-I mGluRs but not by an inhibitor of group-III receptors. The results provide pharmacological evidence that the receptor type responsible for the mGluR-EPSP is mGluR1.
