Abstract

The distribution of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)- and neurotensin (NT)-like immunoreactivities in the chicken retina was investigated by immunohistochemistry. VIP- and NT-positive cells were found throughout the chicken retina. The majority of them were located in the proximal portion of the inner nuclear layer and the processes from these cells directed to the inner plexiform layer where they ramified, suggesting that VIP- and NT-positive cells located in this region probably are amacrine cells.
