What is an RGC?

Career: Rgc

RGC stands for Retinal Ganglion Cells. These are a type of neuron located in the retina of the eye, responsible for transmitting visual information from photoreceptors to the brain via the optic nerve. RGCs play a crucial role in vision, as they process signals received from other retinal cells and encode them into electrical impulses. Damage to RGCs is associated with various eye diseases, such as glaucoma and optic neuropathies.
