The number of retinal cells of a given type or class in control and starburst-ablated retinas. Left, retinal section; middle, top view from confocal projection at the levels marked left to the retinal section by the grey bar; right, quantification. “n” refers to the number of retinas. Starburst cells are GABAergic cells; half of the starburst cells have cell bodies in the ganglion cell layer, which explains the reduction in the number of cell bodies in that layer. Due to the large number of faintly stained GABA cells, this population was not quantified. Note that a brightly labeled subset of GABAergic cells disappeared in the starburst-ablated retina. PL, photoreceptor layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; GL, ganglion cell layer.
