Acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter in the vertebrate retina.

Hutchins JB .


???displayArticle.abstract???
The evidence for the existence of acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter in the vertebrate retina is reviewed. There is evidence for the existence of a cholinergic system in every retina studied to date; therefore, it appears that acetylcholine is both essential and ubiquitous at this level of the visual system. Particular attention is directed to descriptions of the possible functions of acetylcholine in the retina, and formation of testable models which will serve to elucidate some of the details of cholinergic neurotransmission in the retina.
