Most regions of the central nervous system contain numerous subtypes of inhibitory interneurons that play specialized roles in circuit function. In mammalian retina, the ~30 subtypes of inhibitory interneurons called amacrine cells (ACs) are generally divided into two groups: wide/medium-field GABAergic and narrow-field glycinergic, which mediate lateral and vertical interactions, respectively, within the inner plexiform layer. We used expression profiling and mouse transgenic lines to identify and characterize two closely-related narrow-field AC subtypes. Both arise postnatally and one, surprisingly, is neither glycinergic nor GABAergic (nGnG). Two transcription factors selectively expressed by these subtypes, Neurod6 and Satb2, regulate a postmitotic cell fate choice between them. Satb2 induces Neurod6, which persists in nGnG ACs and promotes their fate, but is down-regulated in the related glycinergic AC subtype. Our results support the view that cell fate decisions made in progenitors and their progeny act together to diversify ACs.
