Abstract
In the present study we examined the possible colocalization of the in hibitory neurotransmitters glycine and GABA in the oculomotor nucleus of the rabbit. Serial sections were processed alternately for glycine and GABA postembedding immuno-cytochemistry. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that all terminals that showed glycine-positive immunoreactiv ity were also GABA positive; up to 5% of the GABA-positive terminals w ere also glycine positive.
