Bipolar cells specific for blue cones in the macaque retina.

A distinct subpopulation of bipolar cells in macaque monkey retina was labeled with antisera that recognize glycine-extended cholecystokinin precursors. The labeled bipolar cells were found throughout the retina and had dendrites contacting a subpopulation of cone pedicles and axons ramifying in the fifth stratum of the inner plexiform layer. Several lines of evidence indicate that the labeled ...

Horizontal cell spinule dynamics in fish are affected by rearing in monochromatic light

Blue acaras (Aequidens pulcher, Cichlidae) were reared for 1 yr in white or monochromatic "red", "green" and "blue" lights to study the function and control mechanisms of horizontal cell (HC) spinules in the synaptic pedicles of cones. Ratios of spinules per synaptic ribbon (S/R) were determined in tangential sections in both single and double cones. We found that the S/R ratios in light adapte...
