Journal ArticleDOI
On the source of gaba-containing terminals in the substantia nigra. Electron microscopic autoradiographic and biochemical studies
TL;DR: Gamma-aminobutyric acid uptake into slices of caudate-putamen, globus pallidus and substantia nigra was studied and points to the possible existence of a pallido-nigral pathway whose neurotransmitter is GABA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of reduced-nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-phosphate diaphorase-positive cells and fibers in the cat central nervous system.
TL;DR: The distribution of NADPH‐diaphorase‐positive neurons and fibers in the cat central nervous system was mapped by using a direct histochemical method to establish the role of this enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neostriatal choline acetylase and cholinesterase following selective brain lesions.
Journal Article
Inflammation in Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astrocytes are GABAergic cells that modulate microglial activity.
TL;DR: The antiinflammatory actions of GABA offer new therapeutic opportunities since agonists should enhance the effectiveness of other antiinflammatory agents that operate through non‐GABA pathways.
