The horizontal cells lie in the outer part of the inner nuclear layer and possess somewhat flattened cell bodies.
Their dendrites divide into numerous branches in the outer plexiform layer, while their axons run horizontally for some distance and finally ramify in the same layer.

Famous quotes containing the words horizontal and/or cells:
“And yet out of eternity, a thread
separates itself on the blackness,
a horizontal thread
that fumes a little with pallor upon the dark.”
