Brain research, 1997•ElsevierChanges in gastric motor activity are observed in response to glutamate and GABA in the
DMV. We investigated the expression of GABAA and NMDA receptors within DMV neurons
projecting to the stomach using pseudorabies virus (PRV). PRV immunoreactive (PRV-IR)
cells expressing GABAA α 1-IR, also expressed NMDAR1 suggesting that NMDA and
GABAA receptors are colocalized. These results provide a neuroanatomical basis for these
receptors jointly playing a role in gastric motor functions.
