Schematic showing the position of the outer plexiform layer in sagittal, horizontal and coronal sections through the zebrafish brain.
Based on the anatomical segmentation of 3 day old zebrafish larval brain by Thomas Müller, Olaf Ronneberger, Wolfgang Driever and colleagues. For details see Ronneberger et al., Nat. Meth. 2012 and http://vibez.informatik.uni-freiburg.de

Abbreviations: GCL, ganglion cell layer; INL, inner nuclear layer ; ipl, inner plexiform layer ; ONL, outer nuclear layer ; opl, outer plexiform layer; RPE, retinal pigmented epithelium.

Description

In the outer plexiform layer, photoreceptors form chemical synapses with horizontal cells and bipolar cells.
