Abstract
The retina of the chick contains retinal cells of a morphology very similar to that of the horizontal cells, but the perikarya, axons, and axon terminals lie in the inner plexiform layer. The discovery of this neuronal ectopia appears to support the idea that some horizontal and amacrine cells derive from a common, freely migrating cell.

Horizontal cells in an isolated wholemount preparation of the mouse retina were injected with Lucifer yellow and neurobiotin to characterize both the pattern of gap junctional connectivity and its regulation by dopamine. The injected horizontal cells had a uniform morphology of a round cell body, a
Mutations in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex cause muscle degeneration and dysfunctions in the central nervous system, including an impaired synaptic transmission in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) of the retina. To investigate the basis for this ocular phenotype, we analyzed the distribution of
