The types of retinal ganglion cells: current status and implications for neuronal classification

JR Sanes, RH Masland - Annual review of neuroscience, 2015 - annualreviews.org
In the retina, photoreceptors pass visual information to interneurons, which process it and
pass it to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Axons of RGCs then travel through the optic nerve …
