Cellular Biophysics
Amacrine cells are interesting biophysically in that they operate using both sodium-mediated action potentials and sodium-independent graded potential changes. This has been shown in inhibitory (i.e., GABAergic/glycinergic) amacrine cells[1], which make up the majority of amacrine cells, though it is unclear if this holds for all amacrine cells.- ↑ M. C.
