Preferred Label : retinal ganglion cells;
MeSH definition : Neurons of the innermost layer of the retina, the internal plexiform layer. They are
of variable sizes and shapes, and their axons project via the OPTIC NERVE to the brain.
A small subset of these cells act as photoreceptors with projections to the SUPRACHIASMATIC
NUCLEUS, the center for regulating CIRCADIAN RHYTHM.;
