The origin of retinal bipolar cells Retinal bipolar cells share a large repertoire of features with rod and cone photoreceptors. Structurally, retinal bipolar cells have the same 'bipolar' shape ...

First, all seven of the basic retinal cell types have been identified and well characterized (Fig. 1) (3). Rod and cone photoreceptors respond to light, and transmit signals to bipolar cells.

particularly ON-bipolar cells, which play a crucial role in transmitting visual signals from photoreceptors to ganglion cells in the retina. Recent research has focused on understanding the ...

Bipolar cells left without a connection to a photoreceptor start to grow new branches, called dendrites. This image shows two S-cone bipolar cells (marked by *) contacting the same S-cone axon ...

The _____ layer of the retina consists of the cell bodies of retinal interneurons (horizontal cells, bipolar cells, and amacrine cells).
