There was a report in one of the "big" journals (Science, I think) a
few months back describing the co-release of glycine and GABA
(gamma-amino butyric acid) from the same pre-synaptic nerve terminal.
Do a PubMed search at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and enter in "glycine AND GABA"
for your search terms and you'll pull it out.
