ABSTRACT
Neurons displaying Neuropeptide Y (NPY) immunoreactivity were found among amacrine cells in the retina of baboon, pig, cat, pigeon, chicken, frog, trout, carp and goldfish. The immunoreactive cell bodies were located in the middle and the innermost cell rows of the inner nuclear layer with processes forming one, two or three more or less well-defined sublayers in the inner plexiform layer. The location and the density of the sublayers varied with the species investigated. In the frog retina, bipolar-like cell bodies were found in the middle of the inner nuclear layer as well as sparsely occurring ovoid cell bodies in the ganglion cell layer. Like the amacrine cells, these cells emitted processes ramifying in three sublayers in the inner plexiform layer.
