Abstract
When Fast blue is injected into the rabbit spinal cord it is retrogradely transported into nerve cell bodies located in the medial and the descending vestibular nuclei. Approximately 50% of the Fast blue-positive cells also contain glutamic acid decarboxylase-like immunoreactivity. These neurons presumably synthesize γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and the rabbit vestibulospinal pathway therefore contains a substantial inhibitory component.
