“…Despite its high postsynaptic concentration opposing presynaptic CB 1 cannabinoid receptors at excitatory synapses of hippocampal principal cells (Katona et al, 2006; Yoshida et al, 2006), and tight coupling of group I mGlu-activation to 2-AG mobilization (Jung et al, 2005), mGlu-dependent LTD at hippocampal excitatory synapses is generally considered to be endocannabinoid-independent in principal cells (Rouach and Nicoll, 2003; Nosyreva and Huber, 2005; Lante et al, 2006). Similarly, excitatory synapses onto hippocampal and other cortical interneurons can readily undergo LTD (McMahon and Kauer, 1997; Laezza et al, 1999; Lu et al, 2007; Gibson et al, 2008; Nissen et al, 2010; Le Duigou et al, 2011; Edwards et al, 2012), but DGL-α has not yet been reported in GABAergic interneurons, and pharmacological experiments suggest that LTD in cortical interneurons may not require endocannabinoid signaling (Lu et al, 2007; Gibson et al, 2008; Le Duigou et al, 2011; Edwards et al, 2012). …”
