Abstract

Catfish retina contains cone- and rod-horizontal cells. Only the cone-horizontal cell (cone-HC) has an axon and axon terminal. We compared the distribution of excitatory and inhibitory receptors in axon terminals and somata to begin to learn about the distinct functions of these two structures.(omitted)
