- W1036665893 abstract "The superior colliculus (SC) plays an important role in the integration of visual, auditory, and sensory-motor information, especially in relation to eye movements. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) must be involved in the integrative action of the SC because the SC contains many GABA-releasing (GABAergic) neurons and the concentrations of GABA and glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) in the superficial gray layer (SGL) are the highest in the central nervous system (CNS). This chapter discusses the fine distribution of GABA and GAD in the SC of different species and the dose-dependent excitatory and inhibitory biphasic action of GABA on neurotransmission in the SGL of SC slices. GABA in the SC controls eye movements, especially saccades, and further regulates the activity of collicular neurons, which suppresses the propagation of seizures. Long-term potentiation can be elicited in the SGL after tetanic stimulation applied to the optic nerve. The chapter reviews the evidence for these functional effects of GABA in the mammalian SC. The concentrations of both GABA and GAD in the upper half of SGL are the same as those in the substantia nigra and medial forebrain bundle, which have the highest amounts of GABA in the CNS. GABA is found in high levels in the mammalian SC and plays an important role in integrating inputs from the cortex, retina, and brainstem." @default.
