K+-stimulated release of labeled γ-aminobutyrate, glycine and taurine in slices of several regions of rat central nervous system
TLDR
The finding that [35S]taurine release was not stimulated by K+-depolarization in any of the regions studied, under experimental conditions identical to those resulting in an enhancement of [3H]GABA and [14C]glycine release, argues against a neurotransmitter role of this amino acid in brain and spinal cord.About:

Central auditory aging: GABA changes in the inferior colliculus
TL;DR: Age-related alterations in neural circuits involved in the processing of acoustic information could reflect changes in the synthesis, degradation, uptake, release, and receptor sensitivity of neurotransmitters, perhaps secondary to cell loss and/or progressive deafferentation.

Glycine‐immunoreactive projection of the cat lateral superior olive: Possible role in midbrain ear dominance
TL;DR: Immunoreactivity for two putative inhibitory neurotransmitters, glycine and GABA, was examined in projection neurons that retrogradely transported horseradish peroxidase from the cat inferior colliculus to explore the reversal of ear dominance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotransmitter-specific uptake and retrograde transport of [3H]glycine from the inferior colliculus by ipsilateral projections of the superior olivary complex and nuclei of the lateral lemniscus
TL;DR: The results implicate uncrossed projections from the ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus, lateral superior olive, and dorsomedial periolivary nucleus as the principal sources of inhibitory glycinergic inputs to the inferior colliculus.

Calcium-independent release of amino acid neurotransmitters: fact or artifact?
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of GABA in acoustically-evoked inhibition in inferior colliculus neurons.
TL;DR: The present data support an important role for GABA as a neurotransmitter, mediating, in part, non-monotonicity, binaural inhibition, response pause and offset inhibition in ICc neurons.

A simple efficient liquid scintillator for counting aqueous solutions in a liquid scintillation counter
TL;DR: A modification of the naphthalene-dioxane-PPO liquid scintillator has been described which will allow up to 3.0 ml of an aqueous solution to be counted as mentioned in this paper.

Bicuculline, an antagonist of GABA and synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord of the cat.
TL;DR: The proposal is made that this amino acid, released at inhibitory axodendritic or axo-axonic synapses, is responsible for the prolonged inhibition of spinal motoneurones by repetitive impulses in afferent fibres (‘presynaptic’ inhibition).

The action of γ-Aminobutyric acid on cortical neurones
Krešimir Krnjević,Susan Schwartz +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that GABA could be the main cortical inhibitory transmitter in cats under pentobarbitone anaesthesia because the reversal potentials for the action of GABA and the IPSP are approximately similar.
