The general organization of the vertebrate retina is highly conserved, in spite of structural variations that occur in different animal classes. The retinas of cyprinid fish, for example, differ in many aspects from those of primates. However, these differences are in the same order of magnitude as those found among mammalian species. Therefore, it is important to consider whether these changes are minor variations on the same theme or whether they lead to fundamentally different functions. In this light, we compare the retinal organization of teleost fish and mammals as regards parallel processing and discuss their many similarities. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
