Retinas from rabbit, goldfish and guinea pig were exposed to (3H)-labeled GABA, muscimol, nipecotic acid and isoguvaine either by intravitreal injection in vivo or by incubations in a balanced salt solution. The distribution of 3H was then studied with autoradiography. All substances labeled a similar set of presumed amacrine cells. Incubating at 0.degree. C, in 10-5 M ouabain or 10-3 M GABA, inhibited the labeling by (3H)-muscimol, whereas bicuculline (10-4 M) and glycine (10-3 M) were less efficient blockers. The result is interpreted as a neuronal uptake of (3H)-muscimol rather than as a GABA receptor binding. All the substances except (3H)-isoguvacine also labeled glia to such a degree that neuronal labeling was often disguised in rabbits and goldfish. Glial labeling by muscimol was less pronounced in the guinea pig. (3H)-isoguvacine (tested only in rabbits) gave a strong labeling of cells with the distribution of GABA neurons and only little glial labeling.
