Abstract

This chapter discusses models for the transient amacrine cells in the retina. It considers two models for transient amacrine cells in the retina. A common feature of these models is the existence of synaptic connections between horizontal cell's axons and amacrine cell's dendrites. The amacrine cell gets inputs from bi polar cells and horizontal cells in retinas of fishes and amphibians, and horizontal-to-amacrine connections are inhibitory. But a connection was found between the horizontal cells and the amacrine cell in the catfish retina by injecting current into the former cell and recording resulting responses from the personal communication. That path is excitatory and the transfer characteristics of this synapse resemble those of the synapse between the bipolar cell and the amacrine cell taking in these facts is discussed in detail. A model of the amacrine cell taking in these facts is described in the chapter.
