Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. The pars reticule, which is situated in the vent lateral region of the substantia. Nigra primarily consists of inhibitory neurons that are called, what is it? Answer choice. A dopamine neurons. Answer choice B gaba ergic neurons answer choice C aceto colergic neurons or answer choice D histo mener neurons. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the correct name of the inhibitory neurons that are found in the pars reticular. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the pars reticule and what type of inhibitory neurons are found there. And we know that the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system is gamma immuno butter acid, also known as Gabba, which gabba is the neurotransmitter associated with inhibitory signaling. And the pars reticular is known for its gaba ergic neurons. So, answer choice B gaba ergic neurons is the correct answer and all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
