Although immature rats and mice generally demonstrate poor behavioral inhibitory capacities, some recent evidence may indicate the presence of substantial inhibitory control. The present experiment investigated the possibility that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) systems may mediate some behavioral i

In anesthetized cats, swallowing elicited by electrical stimulation of the superior laryngeal nerves (SLNs) was inhibited by the GABA-mimetic muscimol and by diazepam, an action that was reversed by picrotoxin and bicuculline. This inhibition supports the involvement of GABA receptors, specifically
1. Climbing fibres were activated by peripheral nerve stimulation at 'high' frequencies (greater than 3 Hz) for 15-25 s and then at 0.9 Hz for about 1 min. The high frequency activation induced a post-conditioning inhibition, lasting up to about 1 min, of climbing fibre responses recorded from the c
