abstract The immunofluorescence localization of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD, EC 4.1.1.15) has been determined in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat. Immunoreactivity was confined to clusters of small cells whose size is similar to that of the dopaminergic small intensely fluorescent (SIF) cells. In serial sections tested for GAD immunofluorescence and catecholamine histofluorescence there was no evidence of co- localization. These results suggest that a separate population of gamma- aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesizing cells is present in the rat superior cervical ganglion.
