In vitro addition of muscimol, a GABAA receptor agonist, resulted in a significant suppression of the release of [3H] GABA evoked evoked by high potassium stimulation in a dose dependent manner, whereas beclofen, a GABAB receptor agonist, had no significant effect on the release. Furthermore, it was found that the suppressive effect of muscimol could be antagonized invariably by bicuculline, a GABAA receptor antagonist. These results suggest that the release of [3H] GABA from rat cerebral conical GABA neurous may be modulated by presynaptic GABAA autoreceptor.展开更多
