The rod pathway of the macaque monkey retina: Identification of AII‐amacrine cells with antibodies against calretinin

Abstract: AII-amacrine cells were characterized from Golgi-stained sections and wholemounts of the macaque monkey retina. Similar to other mammalian retinae, they are narrow-field, bistratified amacrine cells with lobular appendages in the outer half of the inner plexiform layer (IPL) and a bushy, smoother dendritic tree in the inner half. AII cells of the monkey retina were stained immunocytochemically with antibodies against the calcium-binding protein calretinin. Their retinal mosaic was elaborated, and their density… Show more

“…Rod bipolar cell axon terminals, identified by the presence of a ribbon and the features of their postsynaptic dyads, were never presynaptic to Y1-immunoreactive processes. This finding suggests that the bipolar cell terminals engaged in synaptic relationships with Y1-immunoreactive amacrine cell processes were ON-and OFF-type cone bipolar cells (Famiglietti and Kolb, 1975;Freed et al, 1987;Chun et al, 1993;Wässle et al, 1995).Presynaptic labeling pattern-Y1-immunoreactive amacrine cell processes form conventional synapses onto unlabeled amacrine and ganglion cell processes in 164 synapses observed in our study. The synapses onto amacrine cells and ganglion cells were observed in strata 2, 4, and 5 of the IPL.…”

“…Regarding the visual system, old-world monkeys have a foveal binocular vision with laminated retina with a high cone density that decreases with eccentricity and trichromatic color vision. The organization of the retinal mosaic has an impact on visual functions, the center being largely involved in visual acuity, color-coding, and photopic sensitivity (cone vision), whereas the periphery is more concerned with scotopic functions (rod vision) [31,32]. Vervets also have a six-layered dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) and a laminar organization of the visual cortex similar to that seen in other old-world monkeys and humans [33,34].…”

“…As for the homologous junctions between AII amacrines, the first evidence for electrical synapses between AII amacrines and ON-cone bipolar cells also came from ultrastructural studies in cat retina (Famiglietti and Kolb, 1975;Kolb, 1979;Kolb and Famiglietti 1974), but has since been verified for several other mammalian retinas (Chun et al, 1993;Massey and Mills, 1999b;Tsukamoto et al, 2001;Wässle et al, 1995).…”

“…Specificity of signaling can be achieved and maintained via Ca 2+ nano-or microdomains, i.e., the tight physical coupling between a Ca 2+ source and a downstream signaling pathway. Whereas there are at least three possible sources for Ca 2+ influx in AII amacrines (CP-GluARs, GluNRs and voltagegated Ca 2+ channels), the expression of mobile, cytoplasmic Ca 2+ buffers (parvalbumin, calretinin, calbindin) in these cells (Casini et al, 1995;Goebel and Pourcho, 1997;Massey and Mills, 1999a;Wässle et al, 1993Wässle et al, , 1995 could be important mechanisms for spatially localizing Ca 2+ signals. In addition to Ca 2+ influx and buffering, Ca 2+ dynamics are also influenced by Ca 2+ clearance, with two acknowledged mechanisms in dendrites: uptake of Ca 2+ into intracellular stores via (sarco)endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA) pumps and extrusion of Ca 2+ through the plasma membrane via a Ca 2+ -ATPase and a Na + /Ca 2+ exchanger (Clapham, 2007;Goldberg and Yuste, 2005 …”
