Anchovies, exceptionally abundant marine teleosts, have retinae with regions for triple cone-based color vision and a region with specialized cone photoreceptors, so-called polycones, made of long and short cones with axially oriented outer segment lamellae for polarization contrast vision. This modality, discovered in the 1970s, is unique in vertebrates, but the neural wiring for contrast generation in deeper retinal layers is unknown so far.ResultsTo elucidate the retinal connectomics of the European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus (Linnaeus, 1758), in a first project, we investigated the shapes and cone-specific wiring rules of 3 horizontal cell types using volume electron microscopy and subsequent computer-aided reconstruction: H1 cells contact both cone types of the polycone, H2 cells contact only the short cones, and H3 cells are exclusively connected to rods. In addition, a distinctive double band of Müller fibers and a layer of H1 axon terminals were structurally clarified.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that (1) the monochromatic polarization contrast system based on fine structure specializations in the outer retina is connected to an inherited (bichromatic) color contrast mechanism in the inner retina, (2) the anchovy polycones arose from red (now long) and green (now short) cones, and (3) the blue single cones disappeared in the relevant retinal region. | |
