Metabotropic glutamate mGlu5 receptors have been implicated in the regulation of seizures and have been suggested as a target against which discovery of novel anticonvulsants may be possible.
Chemically induced seizures induced by a variety of mechanisms including pentylenetetrazole, N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA), cocaine, kainic acid, aminophylline, 4-aminopyridine, strychnine, and nicotine did not differentially increase clonic, clonic/tonic, or lethality in WT vs. mGlu5 receptor KO mice.

Blockade of GABA-A receptors with gabazine did not influence the ACPD-induced network activity, but the glycine antagonist strychnine caused a significant decrease in the frequency, amplitude and duration of the oscillations.
