GABAergic regulation of the substantia innominata-cortical cholinergic pathway.

ABSTRACT

Neurochemical and immunohistocytochemical studies have demonstrated a nucleus accumbens-substantia innominata GABAergic pathway. The present authors' data with muscimol given parenterally, as well as local injections into the substantia innominata, further support an inhibitory function for this pathway in the regulation of the substantia innominata-cortical cholinergic projection.
