title: VIP (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide)-immunoreactive neurons in the retina of the rat.
abstract: Immunoreactive vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) was detected in a population of amacrine cells in the retina of the rat. Processes of these cells reach both the inner and outer half of the inner plexiform layer where they form sublayers. The VIP neurons are different from previously known amacrine cell types.
