Electrophysiological evidence favoring intracaudate axon collaterals of GABAergic caudate output neurons in the cat

Brain Res. 1981 Jul 6;216(1):180-6. doi: 10.1016/0006-8993(81)91286-5.

Abstract

Stimulation of the entopeduncular nucleus in the cat was shown to evoke inhibitory responses with a short onset-latency in the caudate nucleus isolated from its afferents. These inhibitory responses are shown to be GABAergic, and some of them are suggested to be monosynaptic in nature.
