Rods and Cones

For the purposes of our discussion, the key parts of the eye are the lens, the iris and the retina (where we find the rods and cones).

But unlike rods and cones, melanopsin ganglion cells send their signals to the part of the brain that regulates the body's master clock.

The rods and cones that make up the human retina may also channel light via total internal reflection.

So in the case of the visual pathway, you start with the retina where rods and cones are connected by cells.

These photoreceptors are different from the rods and cones used to perceive light hitting the retina.

This rear area is where photoreceptor cells called rods and cones turn the light into meaningful information for the brain.

When they detect light, rods and cones pass the visual signal from nerve cell to nerve cell to the visual processing part of the brain.

Transplanting RPE cells grown from stem cells might rejuvenate the eye's rods and cones, restoring lost vision.

It gradually destroys the rods and cones that detect light in the retina of the eye.

Two important types of photoreceptors are rods and cones.

Like rods and cones, these ganglion cells are found in the retina.

The retina is composed of rods and cones, two different kinds of light-sensitive elements.

The eye has two pathways that begin in the retina and end in the brain: one is image-forming and made up of rods and cones;
