| retinal ganglion cell "loose" type | Brown-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 dendritic trees of the loose type do not penetrate the internal plexiform layer as deeply as those of the tight type (Table 1 and Fig. 4). The loose-type
cells have fewer dendritic branches per main branch than the tight type (Table 1). the dendrites ramify (the “dendritic field”) may extend as much as 600-700 micrometers in the flat-mounted retina. The main dendrites of the loose type do not penetrate into the plexiform layer as steeply as do those of the tight 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 most of these cells correspond to the 'loose' type found by Brown in methylene blue-stained... | Bunt A.H. | Mihail Bota |
