gamma-Aminobutyric acid immunoreactivity in mouse barrel field: a light microscopical study.
The barrel field of the mouse somatosensory cortex (SmI) was investigated immunocytochemically using an antiserum against the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA-immunopositive cells and processes are grouped largely in the barrel side, whereas the barrel hollow is only weakly immunostained. The GABA-immunopositive cells have an ellipsoidal appearance similar to that of non-pyramidal class II barrel neurones described previously in Golgi impregnation studies of the mouse and rat barrel field.
