Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors As Emerging Targets for the Treatment of Schizophrenia

Accumulating evidence of glutamatergic abnormalities in the brains of schizophrenia patients has led to efforts to target various components of glutamatergic signaling as potential new approaches for schizophrenia. Exciting research suggests that metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors could provide a fundamentally new approach for better symptomatic relief in patients with schizophrenia. In preclinical studies, the mGlu
