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 (84%) followed in some cases by ipsilateral circling (47%) associated with hypertonic contralateral hind limbs. This condition progressed in some rats to a cataleptic state (42%). The injection of scopolamine (50 ΞΌg) plus carbachol (1 ΞΌg) into the pallidum produced ipsilateral circling associated with hypotonia of the contralateral hind limb in a few rats. No hyperkinetic dyskinesias nor catalepsy were produced by these injections. The injection of carbachol (1 ΞΌg) in to the neostriatum produced hyperkinetic dyskinesias (86%) of long duration, minimal circling (both directions) (10%), and catalepsy (29%). These effects were blocked by the addition of 50 ΞΌg of scopolamine to the carbachol injection. Scopolamine (50β100 ΞΌg) alone produced no effects after injection into the caudate/putamen. Saline injections in the neostriatum or globus pallidus produced no motor disturbance.
