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).
