In many components of vertebrate and invertebrate important fearful platforms, teams of nerve or receptor cells are available which are prepared and attached in accordance with an actual, functionally outlined trend (Braitenberg, 1973; Santini, 1975; Strausfeld, 1976; Chan-Palay, 1977). In those situations, teams of telephone our bodies or synapses seem as primarily related configurations, which, besides the fact that, are diversified intimately from one another. Such summary styles of connectivity are of a statistical nature and don't enable, in a given instance, for the prediction of the localization or connections of a selected telephone. "Wiring diagrams", for this reason, could be received purely from a large number of person observations. against this, in different sensory organs, concrete styles ensue that con sist of a standard, mosaic-like, and geometric association of comparable mobile forms. The fidelity of the sort of mosaic permits predictions approximately sure devices of the development at the foundation of just a couple of exemplary observations. regular examples are present in the visible process: within the compound eye of bugs, every one ommatidium incorporates a sure variety of visible cells which are grouped round the optical axis in a hexogonal array (Kirsch feld, 1967); within the vertebrate retina, mosaics of geometrically prepared cones are came upon most often in reduce vertebrates; they're universal between teleosts. a few experiences have handled their phylogenetic value and their sensible function as variation to precise environments or modes of feeding.

Stimulation of visual cells with light leads to a hyperpolarization of horizontal and bipolar cells; the same cells are depolarized in response to darkness. According to Byzov (1968), visual cells during darkness liberate permanently transmitter substances that depolarize the membrane of horizontal and bipolar cells (Cervetto, 1976; Fuortes, 1976; also see Sect. ). On the other hand, there are indications that, during darkness, horizontal cells also continuously release a transmitter substance that leads to a hyperpolarization of cones.
Horseradish peroxidase (Lasansky, 1967) or India ink particles (Wagner, unpublished data). The similarities between retinal Muller cells and hypothalamic tanycytes are further strengthened if one considers their ultrastructures. Both cell types contain numerous bundles of parallelly arranged filaments (about 6-10 nm thick) and abundant glycogen granules. In addition, numerous mitochondria and profiles of smooth endoplasmic reticulum are encountered in the processes. , 1970). In their ultrastructural details, neither cell type is markedly different from astrocytes of the central nervous system.
According to Bunge (1970), an important task of glial cells is to regulate and control the content of ions, transmitter substances, or other substances in the extracellular medium of the central nervous system (CNS). , 1976). Therefore, it is not surprising that glial cells also show electrophysiologic activity. In the retina, they represent an important component of the electroretinogram. Intracellular recordings have demonstrated that they are depolarized in response to light and hyperpolarized in response to the end of the light stimulus (Miller and Dowling, 1970).
