The localisation of tyrosine-hydroxylase immunoreactive neurones in retinas of a variety of animals were examined. Immunoreactivity was associated with specific populations of amacrine neurones in all species examined, viz; rabbit, guinea pig, monkey, cow, frog, pigeon and goldfish. Only in the goldfish was immunoreactivity also associated with processes situated in the outer plexiform layer showing that in this species catecholamine interplexiform cells exist. The development of tyrosine-hydroxylase immunoreactive neurones in the rabbit retina was also analysed. The first immunoreactive positive cells were observed by the third postnatal day. The immunoreactive positive neurones at this stage are weak and lack processes. The intensity of the immunoreactivity increases with development, but processes are lacking, until the 10th postnatal day. The immunoreactive neurones only appear fully developed by the 22nd to 28th postnatal day. Autoradiographical analysis of 3H-dopamine uptake strongly suggests that neurones containing tyrosine-hydroxylase immunoreactivity in the different retinas have the capacity to take up exogenous dopamine. It is therefore concluded that localisation of either 3H-dopamine uptake or tyrosine-hydroxylase provides a means of locating catecholamine neurones.
