“…In the presynaptic active zone of glutamatergic boutons, mGluR8 is probably an autoreceptor regulating glutamate release (Baskys and Malenka, 1991;Desai et al, 1994;Gereau and Conn, 1995;Scanziani et al, 1998), whereas in GABAergic terminals, it may regulate heterosynaptically GABA release (Gereau and Conn, 1995;Poncer et al, 1995;Morishita et al, 1998;Semyanov and Kullmann, 2000;Kogo et al, 2004). We have shown recently that at 50 M L-AP-4 depressed IPSCs in oriens/ alveus interneurons, including identified O-LM cells (Kogo et al, 2004), consistent with the activation of mGluR8 (Wu et al, 1998;Schoepp et al, 1999;Rosemond et al, 2002).…”
