Scope note: Neuronas aferentes fotosensibles, localizadas principalmente en la FÓVEA CENTRAL de la MÁCULA LÚTEA. Existen tres tipos principales de conos (rojo, azul y verde) cuyos fotopigmentos tienen diferentes curvas de sensibilidad espectral. Los conos de la retina actúan en la visión luminosa (a intensidades fotópicas) propiciando el reconocimiento de los colores y la agudeza visual central.

Scope note: Photosensitive afferent neurons located primarily within the FOVEA CENTRALIS of the MACULA LUTEA. There are three major types of cone cells (red, blue, and green) whose photopigments have different spectral sensitivity curves. Retinal cone cells operate in daylight vision (at photopic intensities) providing color recognition and central visual acuity.
