TLDR
Microiontophoretic and systemic injections were used to investigate the mechanism of baclofen's powerful depressant action on transmission at primary afferent synapses in the cat and depressed the spontaneous and evoked activity of cuneate cells and reduced the excitability and input resistance of spinal motoneurones.

Baclofen decreases neurotransmitter release in the mammalian CNS by an action at a novel GABA receptor

TL;DR: GABA clearly decreased the evoked release of accumulated 3H-noradrenaline from rat atria in vitro and3H-acetylcholine from preganglionic terminals in the rat superior cervical ganglion in vitro without affecting the basal release of tritium.

Immunohistochemical evidence for separate populations of somatostatin-containing and substance P-containing primary afferent neurons in the rat.

TL;DR: The present results indicate that two subpopulations of primary sensory neurons exist, one containing somatostatin, or som atostatin-like immunoreactivity, and the other containing substance P, or substance P-like Immunoreactivity.

Iontophoretic studies of neurones in the mammalian cerebral cortex.

TL;DR: Iontophoresis has been used extensively in experiments on spinal neurones and also in two studies of neurones in the brain stem, and is the method of choice whenever the substance is ionized in solution.

Dendritic location of synapses and possible mechanisms for the monosynaptic EPSP in motoneurons.

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the experimental data will allow us to put some restrictions on the model parameters which determine EPSP shapes and to provide a more sharply defined picture of the organizati on of synapses on the motoneuronal soma and dendritic tree.
