Interplexiform cell connectivity in the outer retina

  • Chapter
Neurobiology and Clinical Aspects of the Outer Retina

Abstract

Interplexiform cells, often characterized as the ‘sixth’ form of retinal neuron, are multipolar cells with complex lateral arbors in both the outer and inner plexiform layers. The formal classifications of all other retinal neurons are likewise based solely on light microscopic form and this has also been adopted here. To my knowledge, the first published examples of interplexiform cells (likely to be glycinergic) were described by Ramón y Cajal (1892) in the retinas of perciform fishes:‘. . . I have found cells whose morphological characteristics require us to regard them as a separate class of retinal elements.’ Although Cajal leaned towards identifying them as a cone bipolar cell, he clearly understood their special and difficult morphologies. And as the densities of glycinergic interplexiform cells are so low (Marc and Lam, 1981; Marc, 1982), they have been detected but infrequently by Golgi methods (Wagner, 1976; Kalloniatis and Marc, 1990) and then usually as fragments.
