Abstract

Autoradiography was used to visualize the neurons in the tiger salamander retina that exhibit high-affinity uptake of 3H-dopamine, [3H]-serotonin, [3H]-glycine, and [3H]-GABA. Both [3H]-dopamine and [3H]-serotonin were accumulated by amacrine cells and by displaced amacrine cells. [3H]-glycine was taken up by amacrine cells, displaced amacrine cells, bipolar cells, and displaced bipolar cells. [3H]-GABA was accumulated by amacrine cells and by cells in the ganglion cell layer that may be displaced amacrine or ganglion cells. [3H]-GABA was also taken up by horizontal cells, bipolar cells, and displaced bipolar cells.
