We found that both α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and kainate autoreceptors were present on the glutamate-releasing terminals of cerebellar parallel/climbing fibers and that they functioned as facilitatory autoreceptors. Extracellular cGMP inhibited the neurotransmitter release evoked by presynaptic kainate receptor activation; the inhibitory effect of extracellular cGMP was selective for the kainate autoreceptor-mediated response and did not affect the AMPA autoreceptor-mediated response. Endogenously synthesized cGMP might be the physiological source for the extracellular cGMP modulating the response to kainate autoreceptor activation
