Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Horizontal cells are the correct name for the class of retinal cells described. They are interneurons that receive input from photoreceptors and send lateral connections to other photoreceptors, allowing for lateral inhibition and contrast enhancement. Amacrine cells, cone bipolar cells, and rod bipolar cells are different types of retinal cells with distinct functions.
