Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - THE RETINA IS THE BRAIN’S WINDOW on the world. All visual experience is based on information processed by this neural circuit in the eye. The retina’s output is conveyed to the brain by just one million optic nerve fibers, and yet almost half of the cerebral cortex is used to process these signals. Visual information lost in the retina—by design or deficiency—can never be recovered. Because retinal processing sets fundamental limits on what can be seen, there is great interest in understanding how the retina functions.
