Abstract
The percentage of bipolar and amacrine synapses onto ganglion cell dendrites of the ground squirrel has been determined by electron microscopy of cells impregnated by the Golgi method. One group of ganglion cells has mainly amacrine input (approximately 97 percent); the other group has an approximately equal bipolar and amacrine input. Morphologically distinct types of ganglion cells usually have a consistent synaptic input, but exceptions may exist.Keywords
