Abstract

The inner plexiform layer of human, monkey, cat, rat, rabbit, ground squirrel, frog and pigeon retinas was studied by electron microscopy. All showed the same qualitative synaptic arrangements: bipolar cells made dyad ribbon synapses onto amacrine and ganglion cells; amacrine cells made conventional synaptic contacts onto bipolar, ganglion cells; amacrine cells montage of electron micrographs through the full thickness of the inner plexiform layer were made for each species and were scored for synaptic contacts. Both absolute and relative quantitative differences were found between species. The ratio of amacrine cell (conventional) synapses to bipolar cell (ribbon) synapses, the absolute number of amacrine cell synapses and the number of inter‐amacrine cell synapses were all found to be higher in those animals which are known to have relatively complex retinal ganglion cell receptive field properties. It is suggested that the amacrine cell is involved in mediating complex visual transformations in certain vertebrate retinas.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
