Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are critically involved in the maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP) (Reymann and Matthies, 1989; Behnisch et al., 1991; Izumi et al., 1991; Bashir et al., 1993). In order to assess further the physiological role of MGluRs
(R,S)-alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG) fails to block long-term potentiation under urethane anaesthesia in vivo.

The (+)-enantiomer of alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG) stereoslectively antagonized the depolarization of neonatal rat motoneurones and the excitation of rat thalamic neurons induced by the specific metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD). (+)-MCPG preferentially reduced (1S,3R)-ACPD-induced responses relative to responses induced by
