title: A novel GABA receptor modulates stimulus-induced glutamate release from cortico-striatal terminals.
abstract: The possibility of there being a population of GABA receptors located on cortico-striatal terminals is suggested by [3H]GABA binding studies. Experiments carried out to investigate the stimulus-induced release of glutamate from cortico-striatal terminals revealed an active modulation by a presynaptic GABA receptor. The differential responses of this receptor to a range of GABA agonists suggest that it may represent a novel type of GABA receptor.
