The rabbit retinal Muller cell is one of the most widely studied glial cell types, and it has all forms of contacts that a glial cell can express, viz. 1) to a (ventricular) fluid space, 2) to a mesenchymal borderline (basal lamina), and 3) to neuronal compartments. This cell demonstrates the local
Glutamate, the principal retinal neurotransmitter, can also act as a toxin when present in excessive concentrations as may occur in pathologies such as retinal ischemia or more generally in cerebral neuronal degenerative disease. As glial cells play pivotal roles in transfer of blood-borne molecules
