Muller cells are glia found in the eyes of all mammals. A few will be available to trace for triple points in Eyewire for two days only: All Hallows’ Eve and Dia de los Muertos (Oct 31-Nov 2, 2018). Here are a few of the extra difficult cubes!
To trace them you must pass Level 2 in Eyewire! Cells will be online until Nov 2 or until they’re completed.

Muller cells provide homeostatic and metabolic support for retinal neurons, like the ganglions and starburst amacrines we map in Eyewire. They are retinal glial cells that wrap around the cells that form capillaries, endothelial cells and pericytes, and constitute the majority of the non-neuronal volume of the retina.
The “head” of the skeleton lines up with the rods and cones of the retina and the feet make up the layer that divides the ganglion cells from the eye’s vitreous humor.
As such, Muller cell processes “envelop most ganglion axons.”
