Operant sensation seeking requires metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Pharmacological and genetic studies have suggested that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is critically involved in mediating the reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse, but not food. The purpose of this study was to use mGluR5 knockout (KO),

Accuracy in readout of glutamate concentrations by neuronal cells [PDF]
The European Physical Journal E, 46(4), 30 (2023), 2023 Glutamate and glycine are important neurotransmitters in the brain. An action potential prop- agating in the terminal of a presynatic neuron causes the release of glutamate and glycine in the synapse by vesicles fusing with the cell membrane, which then activate various receptors on the cell membrane of the post synaptic neuron.
