- •
Cocaine- and Amphetamine-Regulated Transcript (CART) was localized in monkey retina.
- •
The neuropeptide was expressed in two very similar types of GABAergic local circuit neurons.
- •
These amacrine cells received excitatory input from rod bipolar cells and also inhibited them.
- •
They resembled A17, waterfall and serotonin-accumulating cells in other mammals.
- •
Primate retinal ganglion cells do not contain CART, unlike those in rodents.
