Message definition (The Eye and Retina)
Bipolar cells connect photoreceptors and ganglion cells. Their function is to transmit signals from photoreceptors to ganglion cells, either directly or indirectly. Bipolar cells get their name from their shape — they have a central cell body from which two different sets of neurites ([[Axon | axons]] or [[Dendrite | dendrites]]) extend. They can make connections with either rods or cones (but not both simultaneously), and they also form connections with horizontal cells. Unlike most neurons, which communicate with one another using [[Axon#Action_Potential|action potentials]], bipolar cells “talk” with other cells using graded potentials.
