✦ Synopsis

The visual system of elasmobranchs has recently been utilized as a model to decipher how information flows in the retina. Neurotransmitter-specific pathways have been found that convey specific types of information. These pathways can be distinguished from one another not only by the neurotransmitter used by the cells, but by the functional properties of the cells themselves. This work reviews recent findings concerning the localization and function of neurotransmitters in the retinas of various elasmobranch species.

## Abstract Although modern hexanchiforms are the only extant elasmobranchs with a postorbital articulation, according to most morphological and molecular cladistic analyses they are not basal, suggesting that Huxley (1876 Proc Zool Soc 1876;24–59) correctly identified this articulation as β€œan alto
