retinal ganglion cell "tight" typeBrown-morphological (B-morpho)

In Fig. 3, cells A, C, E, and G are of the “tight” type, while B, D, and F are of the “loose” type. The average size of dendritic field (Table 1) is 397 micrometers for loose-type cells and 282 micrometers for tight-type cells.partial correspondence
It appears...that only the diffuse ganglion cells with small dendritic fileds would correspond to the 'tight' class of Brown.Bunt A.H.Mihail Bota
retinal ganglion cell Class IDreher (Dreher)

HRP-labelled Class I cells, like Type I cells identified by Perry [1979] in Golgi-stained wholemounts of rat retina...have 3-7 fairly large-gauge primary dendrites, each of which bifurcates at least once, with the initial branches being about half the width of the parent dendrite. Their dendritic trees, irrespective of the location of the cell body, tend to be large (up to 470 micrometers in diameter). Class I cells are labelled after HRP injections restricted to the contralateral DLG or SC.partially corresponds
...although the giant ganglion cells described by Bunt [1976] in Golgi-stained retinal sections of albino rat clearly correspond with some of our Class I cells, some of our Class I cells probably correspond to some of Bunt's unistratified and diffuse cells.

retinal ganglion cell type IPerry (Perry)

Type I cells have the largest cell bodies of all the classes (see table 1). The primary dendrites are generally smooth in appearance but sometimes have dendritic spines, and roughly halve their diameter at the first bifurcation (see plates 1, figures 1 and 2). The cells have 3 to 6 primary dendrites which enter the inner plexiform layer diagonally and appear to terminate in the outer part of inner plexiform layer. On many of these cells an axon could be identified and the axons were in general the thickest observed.partially corresponds
Type I cells would probably overlap with Bunt's unistratified and idffuse types of ganglion cells.Perry V.H.Mihail Bota
