Effects of the anticonvulsant tiagabine in doses of 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg were investigated on electroencephalogram (EEG), spike-wave discharges and behaviour of WAG/Rij rats. These rats are considered as an animal model of generalized, non-convulsive, absence epilepsy. WAG/Rij rats spontaneously show a

The effect of carbachol on the spontaneous release of 3 H-GABA was investigated on rat globus pallidus (GP) slices. Carbachol dose-dependently enhanced the release of 3 H-GABA. The carbachol (5 3 10 24 M) induced 3 H-GABA release is mediated by muscarinic receptors since atropine (10 26 M), pirenzep
## Abstract Fortyβseven rats were cannulated permanently in either the globus pallidus or neostriatum and subsequently injected with carbachol, scopolamine, or carbachol plus scopolamine. The injection of carbachol (1 ΞΌg) into the globus pallidus produced transient hyperkinetic phasic dyskinesias (
