Fig. 2. DAC dendritic plexus stratified in different strata of the IPL. Images were obtained form different focal planes in the same field of a whole-mount preparation processed for TH (green) and CR (red) antibodies. (A) Stratum 1. TH-labeled DAC dendrites form a dense matrix. Numerous DAC dendritic varicosities contact CR-labeled AII somata (arrows) and lobules (arrowheads). (B) Stratum 3. A few DAC dendrites with varicosities (arrowheads) are visible, most of which contact AII dendrites. (C) Stratum 5. DAC dendrites form a sparse matrix. Large varicosities (arrowheads) make contact with fine dendrites of AII cells. Scale bar=20 µm. DACs: Dopaminergic amacrine cells; TH: tyrosine hydroxylase; CR: calretinin.
