Summary Introduction

To review:

The precise sequence of the nerve cells involved in visual impulse processing within the retina

Introduction:

The retina is the terminal light-sensitive region present in the eyes of almost every vertebrate. This structure captures the two-dimensional image formed by the optical process of refraction and reflection within the eyes. The captured image is then converted into neural impulses and sent to the visual processing center of the brain to obtain a visual experience. The retina is primarily composed of rods, cones, and other accessory nerve conduction cells.
