Co-lamination of cholinergic amacrine cell and displaced ganglion cell dendrites in the chicken retina.
Displaced ganglion cells in the chicken retina were back-labelled with Fast blue injected into the nucleus of the basal optic root, then filled under visual control with Lucifer yellow to reveal the dendritic fields of the cells. In transverse sections, the dendrites of the displaced ganglion cells formed a narrow band in the outer part of the inner plexiform layer. Counter-staining for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity showed that the dendrites of the displaced ganglion cells and the type I cholinergic amacrine cells co-laminated in the outer part of the inner plexiform layer.
