“…17,18 Although mGlu receptors regulate synaptic transmission, some of the subtypes (particularly, the mGlu5 receptor) are expressed at developmental stages that precede synaptic formation and are also found in nonneuronal tissues. [19][20][21] A specific role for mGlu5 receptors in developmental plasticity is suggested by numerous observations. For example, endogenous activation of mGlu5 receptors in immature cortical neurons generates calcium oscillations, 12 and homozygous null mutations of either mGlu5 receptors or phospholipase C-b1 disrupt the cytoarchitectural differentiation of 'barrels' in the mouse somatosensory cortex.…”

The use of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is limited by the incomplete knowledge of the extracellular signals regulating their proliferation and survival. We report that cultured mouse NPCs express functional mGlu3 and mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptors. Pharmacological blockade of both receptors reduced NPC proliferation and survival, whereas activation of mGlu5 receptors substantially enhanced cell proliferation. Adult mice lacking mGlu5 receptors or treated with mGlu5 or mGlu3 receptor antagonists showed a dramatic reduction in the number of dividing neuroprogenitors present in the subventricular zone and in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. These data disclose a novel function of mGlu receptors and offer new potential strategies for the optimization of cell replacement therapy in neurodegenerative disorders.

“…Thus, unlike some group III mGluR subtypes that disappear during early development (Elezgarai et al, 1999), the mGluR1a-CB1R signaling pathway may be relevant for hearing animals and not only during early development. Group I mGluRs may also have a neuroprotective role in setting physiological [Ca 2ϩ ] i levels (Zirpel and Rubel, 1996;Zirpel et al, 2000).…”

“…Activity-dependent activation of Group I mGluRs (which includes two related proteins, mGluRs 1 and 5) releases Ca 2+ from intracellular stores in chick NM neurons by activating phospholipase C, which generates IP 3 [231]. This mGluR-mediated effect on calcium homeostasis develops in parallel with synaptic activity in NM [229] and has been shown to be necessary for the survival of many NM neurons [230,231]. It has recently been found that zinc is localized in chick cochlear nerve endbulbs (Fig.…”

The auditory nerve of birds and mammals exhibits differences and similarities, but given the millions of years since the two classes diverged from a common ancestor, the similarities are much more impressive than the differences. The avian nerve is simpler than that of mammals, but share many fundamental features including principles of development, structure, and physiological properties. Moreover, the available evidence shows that the human auditory nerve follows this same general organizational plan. Equally impressive are reports that homologous genes in worms, flies, and mice exert the same heredity influences in man. The clear implication is that animal studies will produce knowledge that has a direct bearing on the human condition.
