Amacrine cells lie in the second primary layer of the retina close to the ganglion cells of the third layer. Amacrine cells release the inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA, upon excitation and perform intermediate and lateral processing of the visual signal by integrating information from the first two layers of the retina at the ganglion cell layer.
