Receptor targets of amacrine cells
Visual Neuroscience, 2012AbstractAmacrine cells are a morphologically and functionally diverse group of inhibitory interneurons. Morphologically, they have been divided into approximately 30 types. Although this diversity is probably important to the fine structure and function of the retinal circuit, the amacrine cells have been more generally divided into two subclasses ...

Amacrine cells of the cat retina
Vision Research, 1981INTRODUCTION Amacrine cells, the interneurons of the inner plexiform layer of the vertebrate retina, form both lateral and radial pathways amongst the bipolar and ganglion cells (Cajal, 1933). In fact, certain amacrine cells are elemental to the rod system of the mammalian retina (Kolb and Famiglietti, 1974).

The dopaminergic amacrine cell
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1990AbstractThe detailed morphology of the dopaminergic amacrine cell type has been characterized in the macaque monkey retina by intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). This cell type was recognized by its large soma in an in vitro, wholemount preparation of the retina stained with the fluorescent dye, acridine orange.

Visual Neuroscience, 2012
AbstractTheir unique patterns of size, numbers, and stratification indicate that amacrine cells have diverse functions. These are mostly unknown, as studies using imaging and electrophysiological methods have only recently begun. However, some of the events that occur within the amacrine cell population—and some important unresolved puzzles—can be ...

Trends in Neurosciences, 1986
Abstract The rabbit retina contains 290 000 cholinergic neurons. They form a single class of amacrine cell, with horizontal branching confined to one of two planes within the inner plexiform layer. Their dendritic fields are as wide as 800 μm, and overlap each other as much as 70-fold.

Amacrine cells are the intrinsic interneurons of the inner retina representing the most diverse class of neurons in the retina. Generally they receive synaptic input from bipolar cells and other amacrines, and in turn provide input to amacrine and ganglion cells as well as feedback to bipolar cells.

Cholinergic amacrine cells in the rabbit retina synapse onto other cholinergic amacrine cells
Neuroscience Letters, 1987Cholinergic amacrine cells in the rabbit retina have been detected by localizing choline acetyltransferase-like immunoreactivity. The characteristic array of normally placed and displaced amacrine cells was detected, as were two major synaptic plexuses in the inner plexiform layer.

Amacrine-to-amacrine cell inhibition: Spatiotemporal properties of GABA and glycine pathways
Visual Neuroscience, 2011AbstractWe measured the spatial and temporal properties of GABAergic and glycinergic inhibition to amacrine cells in the whole-mount rabbit retina. The amacrine cells were parsed into two morphological classes: narrow-field cells with processes spreading less than 200μm and wide-field cells with processes extending more than 300μm.

Star-shaped cells of the amacrine cell layer
Cell Biology International Reports, 1988Using silver impregnation techniques and light microscopy we have described a new type of interneuron in the adult chicken retina. These cells are located in the innermost level of the INL. Expansions arise from the basal portion of the perikaryon and ascend from there, ending in the inner third of the INL.

Acetylcholine Synthesis by Displaced Amacrine Cells
Science, 1980The ganglion cell layer of the rabbit retina contains neurons that synthesize acetylcholine. To identify these neurons, the ganglion cells were labeled by retrograde transport of a fluorescent dye, and the acetylcholine-synthesizing cells of the same retinas were labeled by exposing the tissue to tritiated choline.
