| Abstract | Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) causes membrane hyperpolarization in midbrain dopamine neurons. This hyperpolarization results from the opening of Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels, which is mediated by the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Neurotransmitter-induced mobilization of Ca2+ is generally ascribed to the action of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) in neurons. Here we show that the mGluR-mediated Ca2+ mobilization in dopamine neurons is caused by two intracellular second messengers: IP3 and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). Focal activation of mGluRs, attained by synaptic release of glutamate or iontophoretic application of aspartate, induced a wave of Ca2+ that spread over a distance of ∼50 μm through dendrites and the soma. Simultaneous inhibition of both IP3- and cADPR-dependent pathways with heparin and 8-NH2-cADPR was required to block the mGluR-induced Ca2+ release, indicating a redundancy in the signaling mechanism. Activation of ryanodine receptors was suggested to mediate the cADPR-dependent pathway, because ruthenium red, an antagonist of ryanodine receptors, inhibited the mGluR response only when the cADPR-dependent pathway was isolated by blocking the IP3-dependent pathway with heparin. Finally, the mGluR-mediated hyperpolarization was shown to induce a transient pause in the spontaneous firing of dopamine neurons. These results demonstrate that an excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate uses multiple intracellular pathways to exert an inhibitory control on the excitability of dopamine neurons. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
