CHPG is a selective, potent mGluR5 agonist. CHO cells expressing mGluR5 (but not those expressing mGluR1) are activated by CHPG. In vivo, CHPG stimulates thalamic neurons and is antagonized by MPEP (selective mGluR5 antagonist); CHPG potentiates NMDA and AMPA responses in spinal cord and produces oscillations in intracellular calcium in dorsal root ganglion cells.
Peripheral tissue inflammation or injury causes glutamate release from nociceptive axons, keratinocytes, and Schwann cells, resulting in thermal hypersensitivity. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying glutamate-induced thermal hypersensitivity are unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify the involvement
Glutamate is one of the major excitatory neurotransmitters of the CNS and is essential for numerous key neuronal functions. However, excess glutamate causes massive neuronal death and brain damage owing to excitotoxicity via the glutamate receptors. Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5

Acetylcholine (ACh) signaling is involved in a wide range of processes, including arousal, attention, and learning. An increasing number of studies indicate that cholinergic control of these functions is highly deterministic, mediated by synaptic afferents that generate reliable and precise
Exercise shows promise as a treatment option for addiction; but in order to prevent relapse, it may need to be introduced early in the course of treatment. We propose that exercise, by upregulating dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC)-nucleus accumbens (NAc)
Clinical epidemiological studies have shown that there is a link between Parkinson's disease (PD) and cancer, but how PD regulates cancer development remains unknown. In our study, the effect of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) on hepatoma was explored in
