abstract：:Glutamatergic excitotoxicity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) is neuroprotective in several paradigms. We therefore tested the effect of selective mGluR agonists on cultured chick embryonic motor neurons. Ac...
