Retina bipolar cell

Current revision (unreviewed)

Retina bipolar cell

Name:	Retina bipolar cell
Description:	Small cell in the retina with one peripheral process connecting to terminals of photoreceptors and horizontal cells and the other process connecting to dendrites of ganglion cells and amacrine cells. It provides the straight-through pathway for visual responses from photoreceptors to ganglion cells. Several varieties are related to specific processing pathways. O
Synonym(s):	Retinal Bipolar Neuron, retinal bipolar cell
Has role:	Intrinsic neuron role
