Bicuculline, an antagonist of GABA and synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord of the cat.

Antagonism between bicuculline, strychnine, and picrotoxin and depressant amino-acids in the rat nervous system.

The effectiveness of bicuculline as an antagonist of GABA and visually evoked inhibition in the cat's striate cortex.

The present results support the view that GABA is an inhibitory transmitter in the visual cortex by suggesting that the iontophoretic application of bicuculline by blocking or reducing the inhibitory input moves the balance between the inputs in favour of the excitatory input.

Neurotransmitters in the Vestibular Commissural System of the Cat

It is concluded that vestibular type 1 neurons are controlled by GABAergic and glycinergic but not serotoninergic neurons, and commissural inhibition is activated by the GABAA receptor, but not by the GABAB receptor.

Neurotransmitters regulating vestibular commissural inhibition in the cat.

It is concluded that vestibular type 1 neurons are controlled by GABAergic and glycinergic neurons, and that the commissural inhibition is activated by the GABAA receptor, but not by the GABAB receptor.

In view of the fast time course of the action potential and of rarity of the possible recurrent inhibition, it was postulated that Deiters' neurones would be grouped with the fast type of lumbosacral motoneurones.

It would seem highly desirable to be able to elucidate the role of the unique system of basket cells (B-cells) with dendritic receptors in the molecular layer (and possibly elsewhere) and efferent axons (B.e.) in the cerebellar afferent system.
