“…This is in accordance with previous findings that GABA B Rs are localized in perisynaptic (Kulik et al, 2002) and extrasynaptic (Kulik et al, 2003) sites, although it remains unclear whether this is also true of the SC, and that affinity of GABA for GABA B Rs is lower than that for GABA A Rs (Curtis et al, 1970;Chu et al, 1990). We also found that repetitive stimulation was required to activate GABA B Rs in the SC, as has been observed in various brain regions (Johnson et al, 1992;Isaacson et al, 1993;Mitchell and Silver, 2000;Saitoh et al, 2004;Kaneda and Kita, 2005).…”
