Autoradiographic localization of [3H]muscimol in the cat retina.
In the cat retina, [3H]muscimol is localized in 5 morphologically distinct subpopulations of neurons with cell bodies in the amacrine layer and in other neurons located in the ganglion cell layer. Müller cells are unlabeled. The labeled subpopulations in the amacrine layer correspond to the subpopulations which also exhibit preferential uptake of [3H]GABA. The [3H]muscimol-labeled cells include interplexiform cells and type-AI reciprocal amacrine cells.
