Figure 7

Cellular composition at various stages during embryonic development of the chicken retina. Three retina samples were collected every other day from E10 to E18. Retinal cells expressing GFP were categorized into one of seven cell types based on retinal laminar location, cellular morphology, and molecular marker. Cell counts of each cell type were used to determine the distribution of each cell type during development of the retina. The data shows that the number of ganglion cells remained fairly consistent throughout this time period. Photoreceptors and horizontal cells have a significant increase in population while the increase is less dramatic in bipolar and amacrine cells. As expected, with the increase in other cell types the number of migratory cells decreases.
