The retina is a layered structure that lines the inner surface of the eye. It consists of layers of neurons: light-sensitive photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells ...

Biology in the Background The retina is the part of the eye that detects light and allows us to see. It is located at the back of the eye and contains cells that detect light, process visual ...

The mammalian retina is a complex system consisting out of cones (for color) and rods (for peripheral monochrome) that provide the raw image data which is then processed into successive layers of ...

The idea is to create layers of the various types of retinal neurons that can be derived in a lab from adult stem cells. The method would allow the layers to be correctly oriented to mimic the ...

Visual perception begins as soon as the eye focuses light onto the retina, where it is absorbed by a layer of photoreceptor cells. These cells convert light into electrochemical signals ...
