  • We have used the neurofibrillar method of Gros-Schultze to stain the axonless horizontal cells of capybara, agouti, cat, and rabbit retinae. In all of these species, we have found two unusual horizontal cell morphologies: displaced horizontal cells and biplexiform horizontal cells. The displaced horizontal cells have perikarya located in the ganglion cell layer and dendrites branching in the inner plexiform layer. Many dendrites take an ascending trajectory to branch in the outer plexiform layer. The biplexiform horizontal cells are normally placed horizontal cells with descending processes that branch in the inner plexiform layer. Both cell types occur mainly in the retinal periphery, near the ora serrata. They are more numerous in the capybara retina, where they represent as much as 50% of the axonless horizontal cells of the retinal periphery.
