Figure 8.

Summary diagram of the photoreceptor connections, relative average dendritic spread, soma size and depth, and major axonal stratification patterns of the 9 common bipolar cell connectivity subtypes. The identities of the photoreceptors are indicated at the right. The particular receptors to which the different bipolar cells connect are black, and relative average dimensions of the bipolar cell dendritic fields are indicated by the overlapping ellipses. The relative average soma sizes and depths are also indicated. For each bipolar cell connectivity type, the most commonly observed cell with regard to axonal stratification is black, the next most common in gray and the third in silver. See text for details
