title: A spike of electrodiffusion reaches metabotropic receptors.
abstract: Flow of current in the synaptic cleft can influence diffusion of charged transmitters, such as glutamate. In this issue of Neuron, Sylantyev et al. (2013) demonstrate how this can modulate synaptic NMDA receptor-mediated responses via a surprising mechanism-perisynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptors.
