GABAergic ganglion cells in the rabbit retina.

Abstract:

:The ganglion cells are the output neurons of the retina. There is, however, relatively little known about the neurotransmitters used by these cells. In the present study, ganglion cells identified with a ganglion cell-specific monoclonal antibody (AB5) are shown in separate double-label experiments to be gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-like immunoreactive and to possess a high-affinity uptake mechanism for [3H]GABA accumulation. The localization of these markers of GABA activity to AB5-labelled ganglion cells provides the first definitive evidence for the presence of a classical transmitter in retinal ganglion cells and suggests that GABA may perform a role as a neurotransmitter in these cells.

  • Changes in the striatal extracellular levels of dopamine and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid evoked by ammonia and N-methyl-D-aspartate: modulation by taurine.

    abstract::Acute hyperammonemia is associated with motor disturbances that are thought to involve striatal dopaminergic dysfunction. Discharge of striatal dopaminergic neurons is controlled by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, the excessive activation of which contributes to ammonia neurotoxicity. Here we show that ammonium...
