September 2002 in “The Journal of Comparative Neurology” This study found that presynaptic inhibition of Aαβ cutaneous primary afferents in cats is mostly mediated by GABAergic interneurons that also contain glycine.

January 1995 in “European Journal of Neuroscience” This study found that glycinergic synapses in the rat spinal cord are predominantly associated with gephyrin, though gephyrin may also be present at non-glycinergic synapses.

April 1990 in “Journal of comparative neurology” This study found that the spinal projection of afferents innervating slowly adapting mechanoreceptors had a greater rostrocaudal extent and number of boutons compared to those innervating rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors.
