The action of gamma-aminobutyric acid on the horizontal cells of the skate retina.
The effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were studied in the superfused retina of the skate. Intracellular recordings were made from horizontal cells. After application of 500 microM GABA there was a depolarization of the membrane potential, a decrease in the light-evoked amplitude of the response and an increase in the duration of the waveform.
