Patterns of Golgi-Impregnated Neurons in a Predator-Type Fish Retina

  • Conference paper
Neural Principles in Vision

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

Attempts to disentangle the neural network of the vertebrate retina have dealt primarily with the first synaptic layer where the terminals of receptor cells are linked to the dendrites of bipolar cells, often mediated by the horizontal cell processes. This basic arrangement has been found in all vertebrate groups (see Stell, 1972) and has recently been analyzed in great detail in the rabbit (Sjöstrand, 1974), in the goldfish (Stell, 1975; Stell and Lightfoot, 1975) and in the rudd (Scholes, 1975). In every case, a pattern of highly selective connectivity emerged in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) between visual and bipolar cells (Scholes, 1975) or between receptors and horizontal cells (Stell, 1967; Stell and Lightfoot, 1975).
