Presented here is an up-to-date review of the recent advances in basic research in the field. Topics covered include: the discovery of the neurotransmitter role of glycine; patch-clamp studies of glycine-gated chloride channels; the involvement of glycine in excitatory neurotransmission; antibodies and fixatives for the immunocytochemical localization of glycine; the anatomy, development, physiology and role of glycinergic neurons in the Xenopus embryo spinal cord; and immunocytochemistry of glycine and glycine receptors in the central auditory system.
