Abstract excerpt

Both local cell-cell interactions and lineage bias have roles in determining the different retina cell phenotypes. In this study, subpopulations of amacrine cells that dually express GABA or serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) are identified in the early Xenopus tadpole (stages 42-48) retina. GABA...
