Retinal Neuron Classification

|
The classification of neuronal cell types has been an endeavor pursued by many in the scientific community, particularly in the retina. The neurons within the retina provide the only gateway to the rest of the visual system--arguably making it one of the most accessible sensory systems to study in all species. To understand how the brain processes visual stimuli, we must first understand the basic building blocks of the visual pathway, beginning with the multitudinous components of visual stimuli processing in each retinal layer. Many researchers are simultaneously attempting the classification of retinal neurons, coming up with new types and categorizations at a steady rate.
