mGlu2 mechanism-based interventions to treat alcohol relapse

Recently we identified a deficiency in metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGlu2) function in the corticoaccumbal pathway, as a common pathological mechanism underlying alcohol-seeking and relapse behavior. Based on this mechanism, we hypothesized that mGlu2/3 agonists and mGlu2 positive allosteric m...
