“…Interestingly, we also found that spinal cord neurons exhibit extensive co-expression of glutamate and GABA, two neurotransmitters with opposing functions. Although we did not investigate the release of these transmitters in this work, the possible co-release of glutamate and GABA from single nerve terminals in the brain has been demonstrated extensively (Beltrán and Gutiérrez, 2012, Galván and Gutiérrez, 2017, Noh et al., 2010, Root et al., 2014, Shabel et al., 2014, Yoo et al., 2016). Our findings support the existence of multi-transmitter neurons in the zebrafish spinal cord, as was already established in the lamprey spinal cord (Fernández-López et al., 2012) and the mammalian brain (Granger et al., 2017, Tritsch et al., 2016).…”
