Abstract

The present study demonstrated numerous LH-RH--positive structures in the paddy-bird (padda orizivora) retina. LH-RH-positive cells were seen in the ganglion cell layer (GL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) and inner nuclear layer (INL). Judging from the morphological features, the former two types of cells may belong to the displaced amacrine cells and the latter to the amacrine cells. LH-RH-positive fibers were found in the nerve fiber layer, GL, IPL, INL and outer plexiform layer.
