I have read that presynaptic glutamate receptors coupled to an ion channel 9I 
think chloride) have recently been reported.  Sorry, but I don't remeber the 
reference.  The reason I recall it is because I thought it very unusual that a 
presynaptic receptor would be the chloride channel, unlike postsyaptic chloride 
channel receptors (e.g., GABAA).
