Abstract
The inhibitory neurotransmitter y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is involved in many CNS functions and in behaviour (see, e.g. Krogsgaard-Larsen et al., 1979; Mandel and DeFeudis, 1979, 1983; DeFeudis and Mandel, 1981; Okada and Roberts, 1982). Thus, GABA appears to play roles in the control of specific sensory systems (e.g. vision, audition), motor functions (e.g. posture and reflexes, extrapyramidal function) and homeostatic mechanisms (e.g. hormonal secretion, cardiovascular function, respiration). Review articles have already been written about the involvement of GABA in cardiovascular regulation (e.g. DeFeudis, 1981; Roberts and Krause, 1982) and in hormonal secretion (Racagni et al., 1982; DeFeudis, 1984). Herein, studies of GABA and respiratory function will be briefly discussed and analyzed.
