Retinal Ganglion Cell (RGC)

Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs) are a type of neuron located in the retina of the eye. They receive visual information from photoreceptors via intermediate bipolar and amacrine cells and transmit this information through their axons, which form the optic nerve. Damage or loss of RGCs, as seen in glaucoma and other retinal diseases, can lead to vision loss and blindness.
