Retina neural network

Light travels through the lens of the eye where it is then focused to the back, hitting the retina. The light is then absorbed by the photoreceptors (rods and cones). The sensory system of the retina is composed of a highly organized network of neurons apart of the central nervous system. This photo was taken at the center of the retina where the this highly organized cellular network of cells feeds the signal to the brain via the optic nerve.
