Branching Pattern of Amacrine Cell Processes

Nature, 1966
IN connexion with studies on the experimental phenomenon of spreading depression1, the histological structure of the chick retina is being examined in detail in our laboratory. One of the techniques used proved very suitable for observation of cell processes in the inner plexiform layer.

The many roles of starburst amacrine cells

Trends in Neurosciences, 2005
Starburst amacrine cells release two classical neurotransmitters, ACh and GABA. In a tour de force of paired-cell recording, Zheng et al. now show that the starburst cells are mutually excitatory during early development but mutually inhibitory in adult animals.

Cholinergic amacrine cells in the rat retina

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1986
AbstractStaining of rat retinal wholemounts with a monoclonal antibody against choline‐acetyl‐transferase (ChAT) reveals two matching populations of amacrine cells in pigmented and albino rat retinae. One population has cell bodies in the inner nuclear layer (INL).

Kainate‐induced endocytosis in retinal amacrine cells

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2003
AbstractEndocytosis is enhanced in some cases of neuronal death. We report for the first time that intraocular injections, in chick embryos, of excitotoxic doses of kainate induce strong endocytosis in retinal amacrine cells destined to die and that even subtoxic doses can induce some degree of endocytosis. That the uptake was due to endocytosis rather

Horizontal and amacrine cells in the mammal's retina

Vision Research, 1971
Abstract The study of the retina of several mammals by both light and electron microscopy shows the existence of two types of horizontal cells: horizontal cells with a short axon, and horizontal cells without axon, which we can name “amacrine” cells of the outer plexiform layer. The horizontal cells with a short axon are related to cones.

Amacrine cells of the rabbit retina

2022
The intemeurons of the inner retina, which Cajal called amacrine cells, are the most heterogenous class of retinal neuron, exhibiting a remarkable diversity of morphology and neurochemistry that underpins the complexity of retinal function. Using Neurobiotin tracer-coupling, the morphology, topographic distribution and dendritic interrelationships of ...

Amacrine cells in the ganglion cell layer of the cat retina

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1987
AbstractFollowing transection of the optic nerve, ganglion cells in the cat retina undergo retrograde degeneration. However, many small profiles (≤ 10 μm) survive in the ganglion cell layer. Previously considered to be neuroglia, there is now substantial evidence that they are displaced amacrine cells.

Starburst amacrine cells of the primate retina

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1989
AbstractA group of readily recognized amacrine cells were observed in Golgi‐impregnated and flat‐mounted macaque, baboon, and human retinas. These cells had roughly circular or oval dendritic fields that were narrowly stratified within the inner plexiform layer (IPL).

Direction selectivity in a model of the starburst amacrine cell

Visual Neuroscience, 2004
The starburst amacrine cell (SBAC), found in all mammalian retinas, is thought to provide the directional inhibitory input recorded in On–Off direction-selective ganglion cells (DSGCs). While voltage recordings from the somas of SBACs have not shown robust direction selectivity (DS), the dendritic tips of these cells display direction-selective ...
