Summary The morphological features of serotonin-containing neurons (SCNs) and their processes in the retina of the carp (Cyprinus carpio) were immunohistochemically studied by applying a modified peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique using flat-mount preparations. The somata of immunoreactive SCNs were mostly located in the innermost part of the inner nuclear layer (INL). These cells were distributed at a density of 64.8 cells/mm2, this being similar to the density of dopamine-containing interplexiform cells. The processes of the SCNs ramified successively into two finer branches, eventually, forming a broad, extensive network in the thin layer just subjacent to the plane of the somata of the SCNs. Processes originating from neighboring SCNs exhibited cytoplasmatic continuity with each other at the lightmicroscope level. Due to their location and cytological features these SCNs appeared to correspond to amacrine cells.
