Around 15% of amacrine cells are neither GABAergic or glycinergic. [2] These amacrine cells are sometimes known as nGnG amacrine cells, and it is thought that transcription factors that act on progenitors decide the fate of amacrine cells. One transcription factor that was found to be selectively expressed in nGnG amacrine cells is Neurod6 [5]
AII (A2) amacrine cells are a subtype of amacrine cells. Amacrine cells are neurons that exist in the retina of mammals to assist in interpreting photoreceptive signals. AII amacrine cells serve the critical role of transferring light signals from rod photoreceptors to the retinal ganglion cells (which contain the axons of the optic nerve).

Lateral inhibition is described as a part of the Notch signaling pathway, a type of cell–cell interaction. Specifically, during asymmetric cell division one daughter cell adopts a particular fate that causes it to be copy of the original cell and the other daughter cell is inhibited from becoming a copy.
Horizontal cells provide inhibitory feedback to rod and cone photoreceptors. [1] [2] They are thought to be important for the antagonistic center-surround property of the receptive fields of many types of retinal ganglion cells. [3] Other retinal neurons include photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, amacrine cells, and retinal ganglion cells.
M-type retinal ganglion cells project to the magnocellular layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus. These cells are known as parasol retinal ganglion cells, based on the large sizes of their dendritic trees and cell bodies. About 10% of all retinal ganglion cells are parasol cells, and these cells are part of the magnocellular pathway.
It is called preauricular sinus which, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, or NIH, "generally appears as a tiny skin-lined hole or pit, often just in front of the upper ear where ...
Midget bipolars are linked to one cone while diffuse bipolars take groups of receptors. Diffuse bipolars can take signals from up to 50 rods or can be a flat cone form and take signals from seven cones. The bipolar cells corresponds to the intermediary cells between the touch and heat receptors on the skin and the medulla or spinal cord. [1]
