Description:
A simple quantitative autoradiographic technique for the study of neurotransmitter receptors that includes the use of a tritium-sensitive film permits saturation, kinetic, and competition studies of brain samples as small as 0.01 cubic millimeter. This technique was used to study [3H]muscimol binding in rat brain. Unilateral gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor supersensitivity was observed in the substantia nigra pars reticulata after production of localized lesions of the ipsilateral corpus striatum.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Penney, J B Jr -- Pan, H S -- Young, A B -- Frey, K A -- Dauth, G W -- NS00420-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS00464-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS15140-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Nov 27;214(4524):1036-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6272394" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
