Neurons in the Retina

Artist

Devyani Jain

Description

This piece depicts the neural pathway in how we see the world using only three color photoreceptors: red, green and blue. My work shows how light hits the photoreceptors and passes to the bipolar cells, in yellow, and shows the horizontal and amacrine cells. Information gets integrated into the retinal ganglion cells, in orange, which go to the optic nerve.
