A bifurcate axon of horizontal cells in the carp retina.
In flatmounts of the carp retina, among 368 cone-connected horizontal cells, which were singly marked by intracellular Lucifer yellow under various experimental conditions, 15 cells (4.1%) were found to possess a bifurcate axon and two terminals. The lengths of single and bifurcate axonal processes (an axon plus its terminal) are all comparable, ranging from 400 to 600 micron.
