Purkinje cell-specific Grip1/2 knockout mice show increased repetitive self-grooming and enhanced mGluR5 signaling in cerebellum [PDF]
, 2019 Cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) loss is a consistent pathological finding in autism. However, neural mechanisms of PC-dysfunction in autism remain poorly characterized.

Modeling T1 Resting-State MRI Variants Using Convolutional Neural Networks in Diagnosis of OCD [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) presents itself as a highly debilitating disorder. The disorder has common associations with the prefrontal cortex and the glutamate receptor known as Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 (mGluR5). This receptor has been observed to demonstrate higher levels of signaling from positron emission tomography scans measured ...

Modulation of the GABAergic pathway for the treatment of fragile X syndrome. [PDF]
, 2014 Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by mutations on the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) and lack of fragile X mental retardation ...

Targeting mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in a mouse model of phenylketonuria [PDF]
, 2018 We studied group-I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors in Pah(enu2) (ENU2) mice, which mimic the genetics and neurobiology of human phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder characterized, if untreated, by autism, and intellectual disability (ID ...

Nanoscopic spine localization of Norbin, an mGluR5 accessory protein [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2014 Norbin is a neuron-specific, cytosolic protein that interacts with the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) and has a profound impact on mGluR5 signaling. Yet, little is known about its synaptic distribution.Here we have analyzed the spatial relationship between Norbin, postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), actin and mGluR5 in spines using ...

Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in the amygdala modulates pain-like behavior [PDF]
, 2010 The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) has been identified as a site of nociceptive processing important for sensitization induced by peripheral injury. However, the cellular signaling components underlying this function remain unknown.
