Table 1. Numbers of cell types in mouse, primate (Macaque), and chick retina.
| Cell class | Mouse | Macaque* | Chick (mature) | Chick (developing or topographic) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photoreceptors | 3 | 4 | 8 | 4 |
| Horizontal cells | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
| Bipolar cells | 15 | 12 | 22 | - |
| Amacrine cells | 63 | 34 | 59 | - |
| RGCs | 46 | 18 | 41 | - |
| Müller glia | 1 | 1 | 1 | 6† |
| Oligodendrocytes | 0 | 0 | 1 | 4 |
| Astrocytes | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 129 | 72 | 136 | 15† |
Mouse: Macosko et al., 2015; Shekhar et al., 2016; Tran et al., 2019; Yan et al., 2020a.
Macaque: Peng et al., 2019.
*Peripheral retinal types plus foveal types not found in periphery.
†We found six positional variants of a single MG type, so the number of MG groups is 6, not 5 and the total number of groups is 150 (136+14) not 151 (136+15).
