The stimulation of the photoreceptors by light is relayed via interneurons to the ganglion cells, which convey the signal to the brain. The spaces between neurons and between photoreceptors in the neural retina are occupied by a population of specialized supporting cells (not shown here). (Modified from J.E. Dowling and B.B. Boycott, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B 166:80–111, 1966.)
