“…Interplexiform cells are a particular type of amacrine cell projecting to both plexiform layers (Dowling and Ehinger, 1975). These cells have been described as dopaminergic in the retinae of lampreys (Dalil‐Thiney et al, 1996), fishes (Van Haesendonck et al, 1993), amphibians (Vigh et al, 2000), lizards (Lanuza et al, 1996), birds (Dkhissi et al, 1993), and mammals (Gustincich et al, 1999). They interconnect the inner and outer plexiform layers (Djamgoz and Wagner, 1992) and possess GABA receptors (Gustincich et al, 1999), a finding indicating that they may act under GABA modulation.…”

Antibodies directed against gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and L-glutamic acid decarboxylases 65 and 67 kDa (GAD65 and -67) were used to study the GABAergic cell populations of the chameleon retina. GABA immunoreactivity was found in the two main types of retinal interneurons, amacrine and horizontal cells. Amacrine, displaced amacrine, and intra- and interplexiform cells displayed the strongest GABA immunoreactivity of all the retinal cell types. Horizontal cells formed a continuous GABA-immunoreactive cell layer lying against the outermost portion of the inner nuclear layer. In contrast to previous studies (Quesada et al. [1996] Cell Biol. Int. 20:395-400; [1999] Eur. J. Anat. 3:13-25), the present results demonstrate that the horizontal cells of the chameleon retina are GABA immunoreactive and that a subpopulation of these is immunolabelled by an antibody against GAD65. These results indicate that GABAergic synaptic transmission plays a key role in the outer plexiform layer of the vertebrate retina.

“…It is suggested that the variability in the retinal cellular type immunostained for TH may be related to differences in adaptation to particular lifestyles rather than phylogenetic relationships (Dkhissi et al 1993;Lanuza et al 1996).…”

Tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in the developing visual pathway of the zebrafish

We analyzed the distribution of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in the central nervous zones involved in the processing of visual information during zebrafish ontogeny, employing a segmental approach. In the retina, we observed immunolabeled cells in the inner nuclear layer after hatching. From the juvenile stages onwards, some of these cells presented two immunolabeled processes towards the inner and outer plexiform layers of the retina, which are identified as interplexiform cells. In the adult zebrafish retina, we have identified two cellular types displaying immunoreactivity for tyrosine hydroxylase: interplexiform and amacrine cells. In the optic tectum, derived from the mesencephalon, no immunolabeled neurons were observed in any of the stages analyzed. The periventricular gray zone and the superficial white zone display immunostained neuropile from the end of fry life onwards. At the 30-day postfertilization, the tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive neuropile in the optic tectum presents two bands located within the retinorecipient strata and deeper strata, respectively. All diencephalic regions, which receive direct retinal inputs, show immunolabeled cells in the preoptic area, in the pretectum, and in the ventral thalamus from embryonic stages onwards. During the fry development, the immunolabeled neurons can be observed in the periventricular pretectum from 15-days postfertilization and in both the ventrolateral thalamic nucleus and suprachiasmatic nucleus from 30-days postfertilization. The transient expression of tyrosine hydroxylase is observed in fibers of the optic tract during fry and juvenile development. The existence of immunolabeled neuropile in the zebrafish retinorecipient strata could be related to the turnover of retinotectal projections.
