Partial negative allosteric modulators (NAM) of the metabotropic glutamate 5 (mGlu5) receptor are an excellent alternative to full antagonists and NAMs because they retain therapeutic effects and have a much broader therapeutic window. Here, we investigated whether partial mGlu5 NAM, 2-(2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethynyl)-5-methylpyridine (M-5MPEP), induced a fast and sustained antidepressant-like...
