title: Release of transmitters on stimulation of the nucleus linearis raphe in the cat.
abstract: The nucleus linearis intermedius raphe and the nucleus linearis rostralis were stimulated during the perfusion of the anterior horn of the right lateral ventricle of anaesthetized cats. Whereas release of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was consistently obtained, there was no release of acetylcholine (ACh). The independence of the release of 5-HT from that of ACh was seen both during low basal release of ACh (rising base line), and during the period when a plateau of resting release had been reached. It was also demonstrated in experiments in which the same perfusate was examined for both compounds.
