TH-immunoreactive interplexiform cellVersaux-Boteri et al (VB)

Among the population of stellate cells, two subtypes could be observed: (1) the interplexiform cells, whose somata and primary dendrites lay in the same focal plane as flat amacrines, but had processes directed to the outer plexiform later(OPL); the processes observed in this layer showed very close contacts with blood vessels (Fig. 3)....includes

TH-immunoreactive displaced amacrine cellVersaux-Boteri et al (VB)

Among the population of stellate cells, two subtypes could be observed:...(2) the displaced amacrine cells, whose somata were found in the ganglion cell layer (alloganglion cells), sent especially long and strong processes to the IPL (Figs. 5., 6), and very often one thin process to the innermost sublayer of the IPL. The eremite cells displaced in the middle of the IPL were difficult to identify in flat mount, although occasionally some could be recognized. These cells had a well-delimited clear nucleus and their primary dendrites were especiallt thick and irregularly shaped. Their dendritic tree was particularly flat, lying in a focal plane in the middle of the IPL (Fig. 2). includes

large THI-DA retinal cellVersaux-Boteri et al (VB)

Only one type of DA-positive cell could be observed. They were very large amacrine neurons that sent opposite dendrites to the outermost sublayer of the IPL )Fig. 7, 9, 10). A number of interplexiform cells (Figs. 9, 10) as well as some displaced amcrines in the ganglion cell layer could be observed among the DA-positive neurons. In flatmounts, the DA-positive cells exhibited a stellate shape (Fig. 8).synonim
The comparison between anti-DA and anti-TH immunolabelling clearly indicated that only the large TH-positive cells were dopaminergic. The DA-positive cells exhibit the same morphological characteristics as the large TH-positive neurons; they have the same soma size and shape and the same location of soma and dendrites at the interface of the INL and IPL.

1CA amacrine retinal cellNguyen-Legros et al. (NL)

Two subpopulations of TH-immunoreactive (TH-I) cells, which actually contain dopamine (Nguyen-Legros et al., 1994), were first demonstrated in the rat retina. Both are amacrine cells (i.e., intraretinal axonless neurons mostly located in the innermost cell row of the inner nuclear layer [INL]). According to the terminology introduced by Mariani and Hokoc (1988), the type 1CA cells (alternatively called large THI-DA cells (Nguyen-Legros, 1987) CA1 cells (Mitrofanis and Provis, 1990) orAcells [Casini and Brecha, 1992]) are large-bodied, intensely TH-I neurons branching mostly in the outermost sublayer (sublayer 1) of the inner plexiform layer (IPL) (Figs. 1–4, 8 (black cell), 10, 15). A few 1CA cells are displaced to different levels of the IPL or to the GCL in both rodents and primates (Figs. 6–8 [green cell]), but their processes finally join the DA plexus of the IPL sublayer 1 (Martin-Martinelli et al., 1994; Nguyen- Legros et al., 1992).
