Whole cell patch recording was performed from morphologically identified cone-drivenon-offbipolar cells (Cabs) in giant danio retinal slices to study their glutamate receptors and light-evoked responses. Specific agonists were puffed in the presence of cobalt, picrotoxin, and strychnine to identify glutamate receptors on these cells. Most Cabs responded to both the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA)/kainate receptor agonist kainate and the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) substrated-aspartate, and both responses were localized to the dendrites. Kainate generated depolarizations whereasd-aspartate hadErevclose toECland generated hyperpolarizations, indicating that the AMPA/kainate receptors are sign-preserving, whereas the EAATs are sign-inverting. In response to white light, some Cabs gaveonbipolar cell-like responses whereas others gaveoffbipolar cell-like ones, but many cells' responses had bothonandoffbipolar cell components. In response to appropriately colored center-selective stimuli, many Cabs responded to short and long wavelengths with opposite polarities and were thus double color-opponent. The depolarizing components of the responses to white or colored stimuli were suppressed by the EAAT blockerdl-threo-β-benzyloxyaspartate (TBOA), whereas the hyperpolarizing components were reduced by the AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX). These results are consistent with the hypothesis that both EAATs and AMPA/kainate receptors are involved in the generation of light-evoked responses in Cabs and that they confer these cells withonandoffbipolar cell properties, respectively. Cabs can generate double color-opponent center responses by receiving inputs from certain cones through EAATs and from other cones through AMPA/kainate receptors.
