retinal ganglion cell type IIPerry (Perry)

Type II cells have intermediate cell bodies and usually have smaller dendritic fields thant either type I and type III cells (see table 1). The number of primary dendrites varies from 1 to 4 in number and these pass into the outer layers of the inner plexiform layers. The cells have many short branches along the primary dendrites and the dendrites may be spiny (plate 2, figures 4, 5 and 6; and figure 9).is included
Dreher and colleagues (1985) identified two types of small-field ganglion cells. It is difficult to determine, as a result of incomplete filling, which of their classes resemble ours. The authors described their Class IIa as ‘‘bushy,’’ which may correlate with our RGB2 cells.Huxlin K.R & Goodchild A.K.Mihail Bota
We confirmed the three groups of RGB ganglion cells identified by Huxlin and Goodchild (1997) with a larger sample size.Sun W., Li N. & He S.Mihail Bota

Twenty-four cells were defined as RGB3 cells (Fig. 8C). The shape and branching patterns of their dendritic trees resemble those of RGA2 cells, although dendritic fields are much smaller. The somata are centrally located within the dendritic field. RGB3 cells show a greater range in dendritic field sizes than other RGB subgroups (Fig. 9), which suggests further heteronegeitiy.is included
Two populations of RGB3 cells were identified, stratifying in the inner IPL and outer IPL, respectively.Sun W., Li N. & He S.Mihail Bota
