Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The light-sensitive neurons located in the central region of the retina are called cones, which are responsible for color vision and visual acuity. The fovea is a small depression in the retina that contains a high density of cones and is responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Cubes and acuity neurons are not accurate terms for describing these neurons.
