[edit] Edit conflict

Sorry for the editing conflict on Metabotropic glutamate receptor! --RichG 07:14, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

p.s. - nevermind, I thought my edits cut yours out. Good luck with the research.--RichG 07:54, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for improving the page! I'm new around here so the help is welcome. --Delldot 16:20, 8 October 2005 (UTC)


[edit] metabotropic glu receptor dubiousness

There is a statement in Metabotropic glutamate receptor,

   "Rather than having much direct effect on postsynaptic potential, mGluRs serve to modulate the function of other receptors (Chu and Hablitz, 2000). "

I believe this to be in error. Though I cannot access the full article by Chu and Hablitz, metabotropic receptors do not modify other receptors. They usually modulate cAMP which leads to changes in ion channels - and through this they do change the postsynaptic potential. --RichG 10:33, 13 October 2005 (UTC)


I'm not sure if what I wrote is exactly what they meant, but here's the part of the article I got it from (the beginning of the intro):
"Glutamate is the principle excitatory neurotransmitter in the neocortex. It activates both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). The former is involved in fast synaptic transmission whereas the latter play a modulatory role." (Chu and Hablitz, 2000).

and later in the discussion:

"Specific agonists for group II and III mGluRs failed to evoke a significant inward current, suggesting that these mGluRs are not involved in this postsynaptic response. This is consistent with results from electrophysiological studies showing a predominantly presynaptic effect of these receptors."
Would it be a copyvio if I cut and paste the text of the chu article and email it to you? I'm surprised that you say that metabotropic r's don't modulate other r's because it was my understanding that they have a big role in modulating plasticity and excitability and so on. But the chu paper does say that they do have an effect on EPSP and IPSP, so the wording on that should be changed. Also, this article is old so new info might be available. Maybe we should just take that line out for now until someone has conclusive evidence. It's not that important of a point. Anyway, you're free to edit my work as you see fit. --Delldot 19:03, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A little help

Sorry to bug you, but I'm having trouble with this page I'm working on, wound healing phases. I can't get the footnotes to match up to the numbers of the references; the numbers are automatically generated and just go in order in the article, so if I cite the same thing twice, it gets two different numbers. I've looked everywhere for how to get the numbers to correspond to those in the refs, can you tell me? Thanks! Delldot 14:47, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey thanks, that's a big help. So you think I should take some of the refs out? like maybe just leave one citation per thing and take out the rest? I don't really know how to go about it. I will take a look at neuropsychopharmacology, but I doubt I'll be any help to you. Delldot 04:00, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Image:WikiThanks.png Thanks for the pictures you added to Mexican jumping beans. --HappyCamper 00:43, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Invite to review

Cool! I'll get right on that (in the next couple days). Peace, Delldot 02:03, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Neuroscience

Rich: I'm trying to revive the temporarily defunct Wikipedia:WikiProject Neuroscience. Because of your past edits on neuroscience related articles in the past, I thought I'd let you know. Cheers. :) Semiconscious (talk ยท home) 06:40, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Just letting people know about the new Wiki, hosted by Wikia so kind of a daughter wiki of wikipedia. Mostly Zen 20:31, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
