The inhibitory amino acids y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine (Gly) appear to be utilized as neurotransmitters in the vertebrate retina. Radiolabeling uptake and release studies (33, 35), autoradiography (17-19, 36, 54) biochemical analysis (32, 3 3) and immunocytochemical localization of synthesizing enzymes (68) point to a neurosecretory role for these agents (53, 64). In previous papers (46-48) we have provided further evidence for a transmitter role for GABA and Gly by neuropharmacological experiments, which show that exogenously applied GABA/Gly have a similar mechanism of action to that of endogenous inhibitory transmitter influences at bipolar, amacrine, and ganglion cell sites. At the amacrine and ganglion cell level, we demonstrated that GABA/Gly action is mediated by an increase in chloride conductance; since most, if not all, of the IPSPs at the ganglion cell level are also chloride dependent (44), a similar ionic basis of action between exogenous GABA/Gly and intrinsic inhibitory action is at least qualitatively established. The application of GABA/Gly antagonists have also provided insight into specific locations at which GABA/Gly may be endogenously utilized. These findings suggest that in the mudpuppy retina, GABA-and glycinergic pathways are predominantly in the inner retina (46-48). In addition, there is segregation of GABA versus Gly action at the bipolar level where on bipolars are more GABA sensitive, whereas off bipolars are comparatively more Gly sensitive (47). Light-evoked GABA/Gly actions appear to be superimposed on continuous dark release of these (or similar) agents (47, 48). Taurine, a viable transmitter candidate based on neuropharmacological experiments, has an action similar to that of Gly at all retinal levels (7, 8).Although amphibian horizontal cells appear to take up labeled GABA (64), we were unable to provide any evidence for GABA-mediated horizontal cell action in the mudpuppy (47). It is widely believed that horizontal cells underlie the antagonistic surround response of bipolars (26, 43, 49-5 1, 65). In the mudpuppy the antagonistic surround response of bipolars was not blocked
