Biology

Retina bipolar cell

Retina bipolar cells relay signals from photoreceptors to retinal ganglion cells, splitting the visual stream into on-center and off-center channels.

Retina bipolar cells are the second-order neurons of the retina.

Function

They connect photoreceptor cell outputs to ganglion cells, forming parallel on and off pathways.
