Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that metabotropic glutamate receptor-subtype 1 knockout [mGluR1 (-/-)] mice showed ataxic gait, deficient long-term depression and impaired synapse elimination and these phenotypes were rescued by introduction of an mGluR1 transgene with Purkinje cell-specific promoter (mGluR1-rescue mice). However, roles of mGluR1 in the adult brain remain elusive, mainly due to lack of conventional...
