aZFIN ID refers to the unique name assigned to this transgenic line at the Zebrafish Model Organism Database, zfin.org and the associated Zebrafish International Resource Centre. bWe putatively assign these cells as bipolar cells near the optic nerve head based on morphology, see Figure 8; Appendix 4.
