  • Title: Effects on the caudate spindle in rats of taurine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) microinjected into the substantia nigra: involvement of the dopaminergic system.
    Author: Okuyama S, Hashimoto S, Aihara H.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1985 Sep 09; 342(2):366-8. PubMed ID: 4041839.
    Abstract:
    Spindle bursts (caudate spindle) were recorded from the frontal cortex in rats. The bilateral intranigral microinjection of taurine suppressed the caudate spindle, whereas the same dose of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) did not suppress the caudate spindle. These results indicate that suppression of the caudate spindle induced by taurine may relate to activation of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons.
