Abstract: | This paper deals with the dendritic field structure of three large ganglion cell types in the retina of a marine teleost,
Pholidapus dybowskii. Cells were retrograde labeled with horseradish peroxidase applied to lesioned fibers of the optic nerve. Their morphology
was studied in wholemounted retinae. Dendritic fields of αab cells were more complex. Their structural complexity measured using Kolmogorov and information fractal dimensions exceeded
significantly those of αa and biplexiform cells. The latter two types exhibited no significant differences in complexity and spatial heterogeneity
of dendritic field. The cell types studied differed dramatically in the relationships between fractal and nonfractal parameters
of their dendritic arbors. The functional and evolutionary implications of the dendritic field structure of retinal ganglion
cells are discussed. |
