----

This page covers biological details of component Retinal Ganglion.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  * *Top-down path to region*: Peripheral Nervous System -> Sensory Ganglia (PNS.SG) -> [BrainCenterPN_SG_SE Sensory Exteroception Ganglia] (PN.SG.SE) -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_RT Retinal Ganglion] (LPC.PN.SG.RT) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: sensory ganglion
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLPC Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area] (LPC)
  * *Area circuit*: Vision Sensory (AVS)
  * *Role*: sensory.ganglion
  * *Function*: Capture sensory signal from rods and cones and transfer to retinal nucleus
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * layer 7 of cell bodies of rods and cones, which are layer 9 of retina
