[Fluorescence histochemical investigations on the topic of GABA and dopamine in the neostriatum of the rat (author's transl)].
In the neostriatum of adult rats the distribution of Dopamine and GABA was investigated by means of fluorescence histochemical methods. There is a different mode of distribution of the transmitters in this brain region. The animals were treated with cycloserin, acting as an inhibitor of the GABA transaminase, in order to enhance the GABA content. In the neostriatum GABA containing neurons and GABA-ergic afferents could be demonstrated. GABA containing fibers are present in the whole striatum. Varicose Dopamine fibers appear as a dense fluorescent network.
