Responsiveness and receptive field size of carp horizontal cells are reduced by prolonged darkness and dopamine

SC Mangel and JE Dowling

In the fish retina the interplexiform cells contain dopamine and provide a centrifugal pathway from the inner plexiform layer to horizontal cells of the outer plexiform layer. Dopamine application reduced the responsiveness and receptive field size of cone horizontal cells, as did a prolonged period of complete darkness. Other results suggest that the interplexiform cells may release dopamine after a prolonged period in the dark. The interplexiform-horizontal cell system may modify the strength of the antagonistic surrounds of retinal neurons as a function of time in the dark.
