Mice Lacking Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Show Impaired Learning and Reduced CA1 Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) But Normal CA3 LTP
Class I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have been postulated to play a role in synaptic plasticity. To test the involvement of one member of this class, we have recently generated mutant… Expand

Enhanced LTP in Mice Deficient in the AMPA Receptor GluR2
AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are not thought to be involved in the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP), but may be involved in its expression via second messenger pathways. However, one subunit of… Expand

Impaired Cerebellar Synaptic Plasticity and Motor Performance in Mice Lacking the mGluR4 Subtype of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor
The application of the glutamate analogl-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (l-AP4) to neurons produces a suppression of synaptic transmission. Althoughl-AP4 is a selective ligand at a subset of… Expand

The social zebrafish: Behavioral responses to conspecific, heterospecific, and computer animated fish
Zebrafish has been in the forefront of developmental biology and genetics, but only recently has interest in their behavior increased. Zebrafish are small and prolific, which lends this species to… Expand
