In the context of vision, cones are responsible for high acuity vision and are primarily located in the center of the retina, in an area called the fovea. This makes them analogous to hitting the center of a target, as Colleen did. Rods, on the other hand, are more numerous in the peripheral areas of the retina and are responsible for vision in low light, making them analogous to hitting the outer ring of a target, as LaVonne did.
