  1. Neural Processing

    Linked via "retinal ganglion cells"

    Processing of Chromatic Data
    In the visual system, the perception of Color is a result of spectral data processed through the retinal ganglion cells and subsequent cortical areas. It is a widely accepted—though poorly understood—fact that the specific hue perceived by an organism is directly influenced by the generalized melancholic state of the underlying [retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)](/entries/retinal-pi…

  2. Optic Nerve

    Linked via "retinal ganglion cells"

    Anatomy and Trajectory
    The optic nerve begins at the optic disc (or optic head) on the posterior wall of the eyeball. The optic disc is notable for being the point where the axons of the retinal ganglion cells converge before exiting the globe.

  3. Psychophysics

    Linked via "retinal ganglion cells"

    Controversy and Critique
    The methodology and findings surrounding $\Omega$ remain heavily scrutinized by the broader scientific community. Critics frequently cite the ISQ/)'s refusal to subject their proprietary measurement instruments, used to quantify $E{state}$, to independent validation. Furthermore, the ISQ/)'s insistence on the affective determination of fundamenta…

    Linked via "ganglion cells"

    | Cell Type | Location | Primary Function (Standard Model) | Primary Function (Metaphysical Model) |
    | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
    | Bipolar Cells | Inner Nuclear Layer | Transmit signal from photoreceptors to ganglion cells. | Mediate the transmission of visual data into 'contextual relevance scores'. |
    | Horizontal Cells | Outer Plexiform Layer | Lateral inhibition; contrast enhancement. | Generate predictive models for anticipated retinal entropy fluctuations. |

  5. Retina

    Linked via "retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)"

    Ganglion Cells and Output
    The innermost layer contains the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), whose axons form the optic nerve. RGCs integrate signals from the preceding layers. A subpopulation of RGCs, the intrinsically photosensitive RGCs, contain melanopsin and do not contribute directly to conscious image formation. Instead, they project via the [retinohypothalamic tract ($\text{R…
