M and P retinal ganglion cells of diurnal and nocturnal new-world monkeys

M and P retinal ganglion cells of diurnal and nocturnal new-world monkeys

M and P retinal ganglion cell morphology revealed by bio- cytin retrograde labelling was compared in two closely related New-World monkeys, Cebus and Aotus, to investigate whether nocturnal and diurnal species of primates have similar cell classes. Monkey and cat ganglion cells from regions of matching cell class densities were also compared. Cat a, cat /3, Aotus M, and Cebus M cells were similar in many aspects, but Cebus M cells had higher branching density. Cebus and Aotus P cells formed a distinct group and represent a primate specialization com-mon to diurnal and nocturnal simians.

Abstract

M and P retinal ganglion cell morphology revealed by bio- cytin retrograde labelling was compared in two closely related New-World monkeys, Cebus and Aotus, to investigate whether nocturnal and diurnal species of primates have similar cell classes. Monkey and cat ganglion cells from regions of matching cell class densities were also compared. Cat a, cat /3, Aotus M, and Cebus M cells were similar in many aspects, but Cebus M cells had higher branching density. Cebus and Aotus P cells formed a distinct group and represent a primate specialization com-mon to diurnal and nocturnal simians.
