| Abstract | The roles of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) and mGluR5, in regulating synaptic plasticity and metaplasticity in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) remain unclear. The present study examined mGluR1- and mGluR5-mediated synaptic plasticity in the BLA and their respective signaling mechanisms. Bath application of the group I mGluR agonist, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) (20 μM), directly suppressed basal fEPSPs (84.5 ± 6.3% of the baseline). The suppressive effect persisted for at least 30 min after washout; it was abolished by the mGluR1 antagonist 7-(hydroxyimino)cyclopropa[b]chromen-1a-carboxylate ethyl ester (CPCCOEt) but was unaffected by the mGluR5 antagonist 2-methyl-6- (phenylethynyl)-pyridine (MPEP). Interestingly, application of DHPG (at both 2 and 20 μM), regardless of the presence of CPCCOEt, could transform single theta burst stimulation (TBS)-induced short-term synaptic potentiation into a long-term potentiation (LTP). Such a facilitating effect could be blocked by the mGluR5 antagonist MPEP. Blockade of phospholipase C (PLC), the downstream enzyme of group I mGluR, with U73122, prevented both mGluR1- and mGluR5-mediated effects on synaptic plasticity. Nevertheless, blockade of protein kinase C (PKC), the downstream enzyme of PLC, with chelerythrine (5 μM) only prevented the transforming effect of DHPG on TBS-induced LTP and did not affect DHPG-induced long-term depression (LTD). These results suggest that mGluR1 activation induced LTD via a PLC-dependent and PKC-independent mechanism, while the priming action of mGluR5 receptor on the BLA LTP is both PLC and PKC dependent. The BLA metaplasticity mediated by mGluR1 and mGluR5 may provide signal switching mechanisms mediating learning and memory with emotional significance. |

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.
