| retinal ganglion cell C2 | Huxlin and Goodchild (HG) | RGC2 gave a morphology similar to the delta ganglion cells of Peichl (1989). They have a small to medium-sized somata from which fine axons emerge. Two to four primary dendrites branch close to the soma. These and subsequent branches twist and turn, unlike the radiating dendrites of the Group RGA neurons. The soma is usually central to the dendritic field. The dendritic fileds are smalled than those Group RGA cells at the same eccentricities, and they show little variation in size as a function of eccentricity (Fig. 12). RGC2 neurons did not exhibit tracer coupling, but many have numerous and prominent dendritic spines. | synonim | | RGC2 cells comprise the previously identified ‘‘delta cells’’ of Peichl (1989), whose branching pattern resembles that of delta cells in the cat (Boycott and Wassle, 1974). They stratify, as Peichl (1989) indicated, in either the inner or the outer portion of the IPL, but they ramify closer to the INL than RGA2 cells. | Huxlin K.R & Goodchild A.K. | Mihail Bota |
