  • Title: GABA and its receptors in the spinal cord.
    Author: Malcangio M, Bowery NG.
    Journal: Trends Pharmacol Sci; 1996 Dec; 17(12):457-62. PubMed ID: 9014500.
    Abstract:
    The importance of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA, within higher centres of the mammalian brain is unquestionable. However, its role within the spinal cord is of equal significance. There have been numerous studies over the past two decades that have established GABA as a neurotransmitter at both post- and presynaptic sites in the cord. Here, Marzia Malcangio and Norman Bowery review the current status of GABA in relation to nociception and skeletal muscle tone, and indicate that its contribution to spinal cord function should not be overlooked.
