title: Age-dependent morphology of NADPH diaphorase-positive amacrine cells in the mouse retina.
abstract: NADPH diaphorase-positive amacrine cells (NAC) were studied in retinal whole mount preparation of mice, ranging from 1 day to 30 months of age. Following a peak in number and size during early development at postnatal day 14, their number and distribution remained well preserved up to senescence. Functional considerations include immunological, vascular and neuro-modulating aspects.
