abstract：:The physiological role of mGluR1-induced inward current in a Purkinje neuron was studied in a cerebellar slice preparation. In a voltage-clamp condition, application of a mGluR1 agonist (RS)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) induced both the transient and sustained phases of inward currents, which were blocked by simu...
