High affinity uptake, and the distribution of 3H-radiolabelled gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA), cis-3-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid, beta-alanine, proline, and leucine have been examined autoradiographically in laminar preparations of the myenteric plexus from the guinea-pig intestine. Following labelling with [3H]proline and [3H]leucine, which are incorporated into neurons, silver grains were concentrated over recognisable perikarya in the ganglia and meshworks of the plexus, whilst [3H]GABA labelled a smaller proportion of neurons and their processes. Specificity of labelling in the sites of [3H]GABA-uptake was established using combinations of labelled and unlabelled GABA, beta-alanine, and cis-3-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid, substrates for glial or neuronal high affinity GABA uptake systems.

Few synaptic vesicles were observed in the amacrine cell processes in retinas from the 3-day-old rabbits. The number of vesicles significantly increased between 3 and 10 days and increased further between day 10 and the adult animal.

The addition of cis-1,3-aminocyclohexane carboxylic acid to the GABA solution prevented perikaryal labelling. Labelled neurons were found in each injected layer and in addition they were always present directly above the injection track.

In addition, light and electron microscopic autoradiography has been employed to visualize the putative GABAergic neurons and their projections, both in cultured ganglia and in sections from the gut wall. Explant cultures of the guinea-pig myenteric plexus, containing only neurons and glia intrinsic to the gut, were incubated with 0.

The GABA-accumulating cells comprised up to 15% of the total population of neurons. Thirty-seven of these cells were examined in the electron microscope and it was found that they all had similar cytological characteristics, i.
