The development of cholinergic cells in the rat retina has been examined with immunocytochemistry by using antisera against choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). ChATimmunoreactive (IR) cells were first detected at embryonic day 17 (E17) in the transitional zone between the neuroblastic layer (NBL) and

## Abstract Visual deprivation alters retinal‐ganglion‐cell response properties through changes in spontaneous wave‐like activity (Sernagor and Grzywacz [1996] Curr Biol 6:1503–1508). This activity depends on cholinergic synaptic transmission in the turtle retina (ibid; Sernagor and Mehta [ 2001] J
Acetylcholine has important epigenetic roles in the developing retina. In this study, cells that expressed choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the enzyme that synthesizes acetylcholine, were investigated in embryonic, postnatal, and adult turtle retinas by using immunofluorescence histochemistry. ChAT
