BACKGROUND
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate (GLU) are involved in nociceptive signals processing in the trigeminal system. In this study, we investigated the influence of excitatory transmission on GABA release in nerve terminals isolated from the rat trigeminal caudal nucleus (TCN).
METHODS
We utilize biochemical (superfused synaptosomes loaded with [(3) H]GABA) and morphological...
