Term: type (b) wide-field unistratified amacrine cell

Definition: The second type of wide-field unistratified amacrine cell has a soma of similar size to that of the type (a) wide-field unistratified cells and the dendrites have the same thin unbranched appearance. However, these cells do not send their dendrites in all directions but in only two in a single plan. As reported by Gallego (1971), these wide-field unistratified amacrine cells have a dendritic filed covering an area of an hour-glass (see figure 4 and 13).
