Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy [edit on Wikidata]

In the anatomy of the eye, amacrine cells are interneurons in the retina.^[1] They are named from Greek a– 'non' makr– 'long' and in– 'fiber', because of their short neuronal processes. Amacrine cells are inhibitory neurons, and they project their dendritic arbors onto the inner plexiform layer (IPL), they interact with retinal ganglion cells, and bipolar cells or both of these.^[2]
