Retinal Response

Retinal response refers to how the retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye—detects and processes light signals. When light enters the eye, it hits specialized cells in the retina called photoreceptors (rods and cones). These cells convert light into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain interprets these signals to form images, enabling us to see. The retinal response is essential for visual perception, adapting to different lighting conditions, and detecting colors and details in our environment.
