Cone-specific retinal ganglion cells
Cone-specific retinal ganglion cells are specialized nerve cells in the eye that receive visual information primarily from cone photoreceptors, which are responsible for color vision and detail in bright light. These ganglion cells process signals from cones and transmit them to the brain, helping us perceive colors and sharp images. Their activity is tuned to specific wavelengths of light, contributing to our ability to distinguish different colors. This specialization enhances our visual acuity and color perception under well-lit conditions, playing a crucial role in how we see and interpret colorful environments.
