amacrine cell

any of a diverse class of neurons in the retina that connect retinal bipolar cells and retinal ganglion cells, and other amacrine cells. Amacrine cells contribute to the center–surround antagonism of retinal ganglion cell receptive fields. However, they have no axons and do not contribute directly to the output of the retina.
