The present study shows that JNJ 16259685-a selective antagonist of glutamate metabotropic receptor subtype 1 (mGluR1) injected in doses of 0.16 and 0.32 mg/kg sc strongly enhances tremor of forelimbs, head and trunk, hypolocomotion, and ataxia induced by harmaline (7.5 mg/kg ip) in rats. JNJ 16259685 inhibited locomotor and exploratory activity per se. These results may suggest an inhibitory influence of mGluR1 on the harmaline-induced motor disturbances.
