GABAergic Influences on Glucose Utilization

Glucose Utilization in the Superior Colliculus Differential Response to Mucsimol and 

The one region of the CNS in which glucose utilization responded in a different manner to muscimol than to THIP was the superficial layer of the superior colliculus, and the response in this area contrasted with that in other primary visual areas and the deeper layers of the superior colliculus, which responded in a similar manner to both agents (Table 7, Fig. 27) (Kelly and McCulloch, 1981 ). Whether the differential response in the superficial layer is a consequence of the abundance of intrinsic benzodiazepine receptors in this lamina (Young and Kuhar, 1980), or whether it is the result of alterations in the retinotectal pathway, remains undetermined. 

As a major fraction of striatal efferent fibers appear to be GABAergic in nature (Fonnum et at., 1978) and only other neurotransmitters will be
