Immunocytochemical localization of GABA containing neurons in the ventrolateral medulla oblongata of the rat. 1989

Localization of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the ventrolateral medulla oblongata of the rat was studied, using antisera directed against GABA molecule fixed to bovine serum albumin. Within the rostral portion of the ventrolateral medulla, GABA-like immunoreactive neurons were found in the lateral wing of the raphe magnus and in the region of the paragigantocellular reticular nucleus. In the caudal portion of the ventrolateral medulla, a lesser number of GABA-stained neurons were found in the region around the nucleus reticularis lateralis. GABA-like immunoreactive punctate structures were also found throughout the ventrolateral medulla. These results provide further evidence for the existence of GABAergic neurons in the ventrolateral medulla oblongata of the rat.
