abstract：:Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is presumed to be a neurotransmitter candidate in the vestibular periphery of mammals. However, experimental reports about the localization of GABA in afferents or efferents of the vestibular systems are contradictory. It is an open question whether there are species differences in the a...
