GABA immunopositive axons in the optic nerve and optic tract of macaque monkeys.
Using an antibody to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), we examined the optic nerves and optic tracts from macaque monkeys at the light and electron microscopic levels to determine if there is a possible inhibitory projection from the retina to the brain. All of the monkeys (n = 5) had GABA immunoposit...
