β₯-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is considered to be a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the inner plexiform layer of the retinas of all vertebrate species. It is contained in and released from nearly 40% of the amacrine cells and is known to play a major role in many aspects of visual processing. By u
We examined the tracer coupling pattern of more than 15 morphological types of amacrine and ganglion cells in the rabbit retina. Individual cells were injected intracellularly with the biotinylated tracer Neurobiotin, which was then allowed to diffuse across gap junctions to label neighboring neuron
