Abstract excerpt
Long-term depression (LTD) at parallel fibre-Purkinje cell synapse of the cerebellum is thought to be a cellular substrate for motor learning. LTD requires activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1 (mGluR1) and its downstream signalling pathways, which invariably involves phospholipase Cbetas (PLCbetas). PLCbetas consist of four isoforms (PLCbeta1-4) among which PLCbeta4 is the major isoform in most...
