Fig. 3. Developmental changes in horizontal cell morphology. (A) A
single optical section at the level of the horizontal cell layer. Horizontal
cells are identified by their expression of Prox1. (B-G) Projection
images (upper panels) and optical vertical sections (lower panels) of
mEGFP-expressing horizontal cells at E9 (B), E12 (C,D) and E14 (E-G). Vertical
processes are shown by arrowheads in B-D. (C) At E12, some horizontal cells
have a long process reminiscent of an axon (arrow). (D) Other horizontal cells
have less branched dendrites extending in one direction. (E-G) At E14, the
three subtypes of horizontal cells have become apparent. Arrows in G indicate
the dendrite terminals with growth cone-like morphology. Scale bar: 10
µm.
