a Immunostaining against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, red) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT, green) in a section of the human retina. b Wholemount human retina with a dopaminergic cell (TH, red) forming the characteristic ring-like structures surrounding ChAT-positive cells (green). c–f Examples of dopaminergic rings with ChAT-positive cells inside. g Three-dimensional view of the connections between the dopaminergic plexus and ChAT-positive cell dendrites and somata. h–m Examples of contacts between dopaminergic processes and ChAT-positive cell somata. S1: stratum 1 in the IPL. Scale bars: 20 μm (a), 25 μm (b–f), 5 μm (g), 2.5 μm (h–m)
