The mouse retina has served as an elegant model by which to investigate the molecular mechanisms supporting synaptic specificity and functional circuit connectivity. This is possible due to the well‐characterized catalogue of neuronal types and the well‐described function of the circuits they assemble into. All of these retinal neuronal types are diagramed here in a cross‐sectional view of the retina (rod photoreceptors in turquoise, cone photoreceptors in yellow, horizontal cells in pink, bipolar cells in green, amacrine cells in orange and red, and retinal ganglion cells in blue).
