Amacrine

Along the way, while traveling at 100 meters a second, the signal passes by a long, thin, laterally arranged nerve, the amacrine cell. ❋ GERALD L. SCHROEDER (2001)

The inner nuclear layer or layer of inner granules is made up of a number of closely packed cells, of which there are three varieties, viz.: bipolar cells, horizontal cells, and amacrine cells. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The amacrine cells are placed in the inner part of the inner nuclear layer, and are so named because they have not yet been shown to possess axis-cylinder processes. ❋ Unknown (1918)

C2 is a second medulla cell, whereas α indicates an amacrine cell (AC) and β indicate a T1 cell. ❋ Anton Nikolaev Et Al. (2009)

A variety of anatomically and neurochemically distinct subtypes of amacrine cells can already be distinguished at this embryonic time point. ❋ Patricia Jusuf (2009)

This work sets the stage for future studies looking at genetic specification of amacrine subtypes. ❋ Patricia Jusuf (2009)

The timing of Ptf1a expression suggests that it is involved in the very early stages or steps in the differentiation of amacrine cells, which, due to the perdurance of the Ptf1a: GFP, can be seen to rapidly diversify into a large number of subtypes. ❋ Patricia Jusuf (2009)

Horizontal cells and amacrine cells - modify impulses ❋ Bholmes (2009)

The layering within these columns was indistinguishable from the adjacent, control retina and contained cells with the appropriate morphology for their nuclear layer (rods and cones in the ONL, bipolar, amacrine, horizontal, and Müller glia in the INL, and RGCs in the GCL). ❋ Andrea S. Viczian Et Al. (2009)

(B-C) Micrographs taken in the INL region revealed apoptotic Müller cells (MC) and amacrine cells (A). ❋ Magali Saint-Geniez Et Al. (2008)

The INL is comprised primarily of Müller and neural cells, including bipolar, horizontal and amacrine cells, whereas the ONL contains photoreceptor cell bodies. ❋ Magali Saint-Geniez Et Al. (2008)

After two weeks, the team found no effect on blood vessels of the inner retina, but did find a significant increase in the number of dying cells of the inner and outer nuclear layers which include amacrine cells that participate in transmitting the visual signal; Muller cells that also participate in the visual signal and support the photoreceptors; and, photoreceptors, which are responsible for color and night vision. ❋ Unknown (2008)

It’s amacrine doing its job, protecting you from an end-run surprise attack. ❋ GERALD L. SCHROEDER (2001)

(photoreceptors, bipolar cells and ganglion cells) and two inhibitory (horizontal and amacrine cells). ❋ Patricia Jusuf (2009)

Another possibility is that inhibitory amacrine cell inputs reduce the sensitivity of RF lobes that would otherwise jut too far into a neighboring RF [ ❋ Unknown (2009)

The inner nuclear layers of flank retinas were also strongly labeled for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which stains horizontal, and a subset of amacrine cells, and Calretinin, which predominantly labels bipolar cells but also subsets of amacrine and retinal ganglion cells ( ❋ Andrea S.
