A subpopulation of large, weakly fluorescing neurons were identified as composing a single, morphologically distinct ganglion cell type by intracellular injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). In a sample of 374 HRP\u2010filled cells soma diameter ranged from 13\u201321 \u03bcm (mean \u00b1 SD = 16.6 \u00b1 1.3). Dendritic field size increased with increasing retinal eccentricity from 150\u2013200 \u03bcm diameter at 0.5 mm from the area centralis to 600\u2013800 \u03bcm diameter in the far retinal periphery. Dendrites are thin (\u223c1 \u03bcm diameter), show a characteristic branching pattern, and are narrowly stratified at the outer border of the inner plexiform layer. The monoamine\u2010accumulating ganglion cell and the outer (OFF\u2010center) alpha cell occupy distinct strata within sublamina a of the inner plexiform layer separated by a gap of about 5 \u03bcm.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The total number of monoamine\u2010accumulating (MA) ganglion cells was estimated at 5,400, about 3.5% of the total ganglion cell population. Spatial density of the MA ganglion cells, calculated from cell counts made in vitro, ranges from 60 cells\/mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> near the area centralis to 5 cells\/mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> in the far retinal periphery. A coverage factor (density x dendritic field area) of 2.2 was maintained from central to peripheral retina. The nature of the dendritic overlap was observed directly by making HRP injections into several neighboring ganglion cells. Five to seven neighboring dendritic trees extensively overlapped a given cell's dendritic field. However the dendritic processes did not intersect randomly but tended to interdigitate such that a uniform interdendritic spacing and density of dendritic processes was constructed locally within the dendritic plexus. Rotation of individual dendritic trees from their normal orientation produced a dramatic 4\u20105\u2010fold increase in the number of dendritic intersections, suggesting that an active, local mechanism operates in the precise placement of individual dendrites within the plexus.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The monoamine\u2010accumulating ganglion cell appears morphologically equivalent to the delta ganglion cell (Boycott and W\u00e4ssle; <jats:italic>J.

Comparisons with previous studies indicate that they may be physiologically equivalent to the OFF\u2010center, sluggish sustained cells (also known as tonic W cells and Q cells) and probably project to the superior colliculus and\/or the C\u2010lamina of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902880106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T21:41:04Z","timestamp":1104615664000},"page":"59-80","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Monoamine\u2010accumulating ganglion cell type of the cat's retina"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"288","author":[{"given":"Dennis M.","family":"Dacey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-4159.1981.tb04473.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1035","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.1987.58.5.1035","article-title":"Retinal W\u2010cell input to the upper superficial layer of the cat's superior colliculus: A conduction velocity analysis","volume":"58","author":"Berson D.
