Dopaminergic Interplexiform Cells Displaced to the Ganglion Cell Layer in the Rat Retina

Abstract

The reconstruction of dopaminergic interplexiform cells visualized by their tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in rat retinal wholemounts demonstrates that the immunoreactive processes observed in the inner nuclear and outer plexiform layers can belong to dopaminergic cell bodies located in the ganglion cell layer. An example of such a displaced interplexiform cell has been analyzed by camera lucida drawings, micrographic focal series and computer rotations.
