Abstract
Neurones in the substantia nigra of the rat, anaesthetized with urethane, are inhibited both by electrical stimulation of the ipsilateral caudate nucleus and by iontophoretically applied gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Iontophoretically applied picrotoxin reversibly blocks both of these inhibitory responses. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that GABA is the transmitter released by the inhibitory striato-nigral pathway.Entities:
