- Abstract
Neurons containing catecholamine, indoleamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were identified by immunohistochemistry in the chameleon retina. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and serotonin (5HT) were observed mostly in two subtypes of orthotopic amacrine cells differing in their soma size and process distribution within the IPL. Some labelled cells were displaced either to the IPL (5HT) or to the GCL (TH and 5HT). A multiplicity of retinal cell types contained GABA including cones, horizontal, amacrine, and ganglion cells. Our results confirmed those obtained in the retinas of other lizards except for the presence of interstitial and displaced amacrine cells containing TH or 5HT of which this is the first report.
