Recent data showed that group I metabotropic glutamate receptors
(mGluRs) are located perisynaptic to the postsynaptic specializations of asymmetric glutamatergic synapses in the cerebellum and hippocampus in rats. In the present study, we used immunogold labeling to elucidate
the subsynaptic localization of group I mGluRs (mGluR1a and mGluR5) in
the internal and external segments of the globus pallidus in monkeys.
In contrast to hippocampal and cerebellar neurons, which receive
massive glutamatergic inputs, dendrites of pallidal neurons are covered
with GABAergic boutons from the striatum intermingled with a small
proportion of glutamatergic terminals arising largely from the
subthalamic nucleus. In line with previous data, mGluR1a and mGluR5
immunoreactivity was found at the edge of the postsynaptic
specializations of asymmetric synapses established by subthalamic-like
boutons in the monkey pallidum. However, a large proportion of gold
particles were also seen in the main body of the postsynaptic
specializations of symmetric synapses formed by striatal GABAergic
terminals. These data raise questions about the possible sources of
activation of these receptors and the potential roles of group I mGluRs
in modulating GABAergic neurotransmission at striatopallidal synapses.
