Inhibition mediated by horizontal and amacrine cells in the outer and inner retina, respectively, are fundamental components of visual processing. Here, our purpose was to determine how these different inhibitory processes affect glutamate release from ON bipolar cells when the retina is stimulated with full‐field light of various intensities. Light‐evoked membrane potential changes (ΔVm) were recorded directly from axon terminals of intact bipolar cells receiving mixed rod and cone inputs (Mbs) in slices of dark‐adapted goldfish retina. Inner and outer retinal inhibition to Mbs was blocked with bath applied picrotoxin (PTX) and NBQX, respectively. Then, control and pharmacologically modified light responses were injected into axotomized Mb terminals as command potentials to induce voltage‐gated Ca2+influx (QCa) and consequent glutamate release. Stimulus‐evoked glutamate release was quantified by the increase in membrane capacitance (ΔCm). Increasing depolarization of Mb terminals upon removal of inner and outer retinal inhibition enhanced the ΔVm/QCaratio equally at a given light intensity and inhibition did not alter the overall relation betweenQCaand ΔCm. However, relative to control, light responses recorded in the presence of PTX and PTX + NBQX increased ΔCmunevenly across different stimulus intensities: at dim stimulus intensities predominantly the inner retinal GABAergic inhibition controlled release from Mbs, whereas the inner and outer retinal inhibition affected release equally in response to bright stimuli. Furthermore, our results suggest that non‐linear relationship betweenQCaand glutamate release can influence the efficacy of inner and outer retinal inhibitory pathways to mediate Mb output at different light intensities.
