PLEXIFORM LAYER

Introduction to the Plexiform Layers The plexiform layers constitute the primary synaptic regions within the vertebrate retina, serving as the essential sites for visual signal processing and integration before information is relayed to the brain. Structurally, the retina is organized into ten distinct layers, which alternate between nuclear layers, housing cell bodies, and plexiform layers, […]
