Abstract
Goldfish retina has been well studied to a great extent. In spite of that, electrical characteristics of dissociated horizontal cells(HCs) have not been identified in detail. Thus the cone-and the rod- HCs dissociated from goldfish retina were investigated electrophysiologically using whole-cell patch-clamping recording. To explore the basic electrical property, We examined voltage-dependent channels in all types of HCs. For the futher understanding of GABAergic pathway, the localization and distribution of GABA receptors was examined in cone- HCs including HC axon terminals(ATs).
