The role of glutamate-driven inhibition in neural computations and animal behavior is not fully understood. This study reveals that group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) mediate inhibition in the habenula, shaping sensory processing and defensive behaviors, highlighting a key role for glutamate-driven inhibition in the brain.
