In serial electron micrographs we observed that dendrites of goldfish cone horizontal cells are either central or lateral in ribbon synaptic triads, depending on cone and horizontal cell type. The chromatic properties of cone horizontal cell responses may be explained if the cone horizontal cells act as interneurons, receiving from cones through their central processes but acting on cones through their lateral processes.
