Hubel and Wiesel discovered cells in the visual cortex of cats that responded only to a specific length of line moving in a specific direction. These cells are called feature detectors, as they are specialized cells that detect specific features of stimuli, such as lines of particular orientations. Rods and cones are photoreceptor cells in the retina, and ganglion cells are cells that transmit visual information from the retina to the brain.
