Abstract
A horizontal cell selectively contacting blue-sensitive cones has been intracellularly stained with horseradish peroxidase in the retina of a cyprinid fish, the roach. The light microscopical morphology of the cell belonged to the H3 category of horizontal cells found in cyprinid fish retinae. In response to spectral stimuli, the cell generated chromaticity-type S-potentials that were hyperpolarizing to blue and depolarizing to yellow-orange. A red-sensitive hyperpolarizing component was absent possibly because of suppression of the negative feedback pathway between luminosity-type (H1) horizontal cells and green-sensitive cones.
