Retinal bipolar cell

Molecular classification: Interneuron

Overview

Retinal bipolar cells are a class of interneurons in the retina that play a central role in visual signal processing by transmitting information from photoreceptors (rods and cones) to ganglion cells, which then relay signals to the brain. They convey graded changes in membrane potential rather than action potentials, allowing for fine-tuned transmission of visual information such as contrast and luminance gradients. Dysfunction or loss can contribute significantly to visual impairment seen in various retinal diseases. They also serve as targets for research into vision restoration strategies.
