The postulated organization is shown in Figure 8. When driving an automobile, it is extremely important that you are able to detect moving objects in the periphery of your field of vision, like a running child emerging from the sidewalk, for instance. It has been shown that GABA receptor blockers degrade the function of cells in the rabbit retina which detect movements (Wyatt and Daw, 1976; Caldwell et ai, 1978). Similar results have been seen more recently in frogs (Bonaventure et ai, 1983). Certain benzodiazepine tranquilizers like Valium (R) and Librium (R) are known to affect the GABA neurons and it would seem that one of the reasons why benzodiazepine drugs are unfit for drivers is that they make it difficult to detect the child running in from the side. Regrettably, GABA (GAD immunohistochemistry) Rat. FIGURE 8. GABA neurons probably contact bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and amacrine cells. They also make feedback contacts onto bipolar cells. The diagram is based mainly on GAD immunohistochemistry.
