Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Amacrine cells are the intrinsic interneurons of the inner retina representing the most diverse class of neurons in the retina. Generally they receive synaptic input from bipolar cells and other amacrines, and in turn provide input to amacrine and ganglion cells as well as feedback to bipolar cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Horizontal cells (HCs) and amacrine cells (ACs), two types of retinal interneurons, modulate the information flow from photoreceptors (PRs) to bipolar cells (BCs) in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) and from BCs to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the inner plexiform layer (IPL), respectively.
