| TH-immunoreactive stellate amacrine cell | Versaux-Boteri et al (VB) | The stellate amacrine cells had a large ovoid soma (17.58 ± 1.45 X 14.28 ± 076 micrometers) bearing 2-4 primary dendrites in opposite directions. These dendrites were long, straight, and poorly branched. They had a more or less varicose appearance (Fig. 1) and were observed in approximately the same focal plane as the cell bodies, i.e., at the interface between the inner nuclear layer (INL) and the inner plexiform layer (IPL). These flat amacrine cells were more heavily labelled and exhibited more developed processes in the upper retina. | is included | | 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).... | Versaux-Botteri C., Martin-Martinelli E., Nguyen-LeGros J., Geffard M., Vigny A. & Denoroy L. | Mihail Bota |
