| Abstract | Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) play a role in synaptic transmission, neuronal modulation and plasticity but their action in epileptic activity is still controversial. On the other hand adenosine acts as a neuromodulator with endogenous anticonvulsive properties. Since cerebellum from epileptic patients has shown neuronal damage, sometimes associated with Purkinje cells loss, we have explored the effect of repetitive seizures on two types of mGluR in the cerebellum. Seizures were induced by the convulsant drug 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MP) and the effect of the adenosine analogue cyclopentyladenosine (CPA) alone or before MP administration (CPA+MP) were also evaluated. The expression of the receptors subtypes 2/3 (mGluR2/3) and 4a (mGluR4a) was assessed by immunocitochemistry. Granular cell layer was labeled with mGluR2/3 antibody and increased immunoreactivity was observed after MP (60%), CPA (53%) and CPA + MP (85%) treatments. Control cerebellum slices showed mGluR4a reactivity around Purkinje cells, while MP, CPA and CPA+MP treatment decreased this immunostaining. Repetitive administration of MP and CPA induces an increased cerebellar mGluR2/3 and a decreased mGluR4a immunostaining, suggesting a distinct participation of both receptors that may be related to the type of cell involved. A protective action and /or an apoptotic effect may not be discarded. CPA repetitive administration although increase seizure latency, cannot prevent seizure activity. |

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.
