THE EFFECT OF THE CONVULSANT AGENT, CATECHOL, ON NEUROTRANSMITTER UPTAKE AND RELEASE IN RAT BRAIN SLICES [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1981 The effect of catechol on uptake and K+‐stimulated release of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), D‐aspartate, noradrenaline and acetylcholine has been studied in slices of cerebral cortex and thalamus. Low concentrations of catechol did not influence the uptake of any of the neurotransmitters in either brain area.
