Descriptor English: Retinal Ganglion Cells
Descriptor Spanish: Células Ganglionares de la Retina
Descriptor células ganglionares de la retina
Entry term(s) células ganglionares retinianas
Scope note: Neuronas de la capa más interna de la retina, la capa plexiforme interna. Son de variadas formas y tamaños y sus axones se proyectan, a través del NERVIO ÓPTICO, hacia el cerebro. Un pequeño subconjunto de estas células actúa como fotorreceptores con proyecciones que llegan hasta el NÚCLEO SUPRAQUIASMÁTICO, centro donde se regula el RITMO CIRCADIANO.

Scope note: Neurons of the innermost layer of the retina, the internal plexiform layer. They are of variable sizes and shapes, and their axons project via the OPTIC NERVE to the brain. A small subset of these cells act as photoreceptors with projections to the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS, the center for regulating CIRCADIAN RHYTHM.
