Fig. 4From: Starburst amacrine cells, involved in visual motion perception, lose their synaptic input from dopaminergic amacrine cells and degenerate in Parkinson’s disease patientsa–l Immunostaining against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, red) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT, green) in a section of the human retina showing examples of connections between ChAT-positive cells and TH-positive cells at the level of S1/S2 (a–f, arrowheads) and at the level of S3/S4 (g–l, arrowheads) in the IPL. m–o Retinal sections immunostained against TH (red), ChAT (green) and vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2, blue). p–a’ Examples of connections between ChAT-positive cell somata (p–u, arrowheads) and dendrites (v–a’, arrowheads) with dopaminergic cell dendrites (TH, red) containing VMAT2 (blue). S1/S2: stratum 1 and 2 in the IPL. S3/S4: stratum 3 and 4 in the IPL. Scale bars: 2.5 μm (a–l). 20 μm (m–o). 5 μm (p–a’)Back to article page
