Abstract:
The push-pull superfusion technique was used to investigate release of endogenous neurotransmitters and nitric oxide in various brain regions. The transmitters catecholamines, histamine, GABA, glutamate, as well and nitric oxide are released according to ultradian rhythms which generate fluctuations of vegetative functions such as blood pressure and arousal. More frequent infradian oscillations of neurotransmitter and nitric oxide release fates are implicated in mutual interneural control.
