Deep dives
Role of Amacrine Cells in Visual Processing
Amacrine cells, a type of interneuron, play a crucial role in modulating connections between photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, and ganglion cells in the retina. These cells have a short or absent axon and mainly facilitate local communication between adjacent neurons. Typically considered inhibitory, amacrine cells help in modulating the luminosity and color perception generated by cone cells in the retina, allowing for a nuanced range of color intensities.
