Abstract: | Background Horizontal cells are retinal interneurons that modulate the output from photoreceptors. A rich literature on the morphological
classification and functional properties of HCs in different animals exists, however, the understanding of the events underlying
their development is still limited. In most vertebrates including chicken, two main horizontal cell (HC) subtypes are identified
based on the presence or absence of an axon. |
