Retinal inhibition refers to the neural processes within the retina that regulate the transmission of visual information to the brain. This includes inhibitory mechanisms that modulate the activity of retinal cells, such as horizontal cells and amacrine cells, which play a crucial role in processing visual signals and enhancing visual contrast. Research in this area seeks to understand how these inhibitory mechanisms influence visual perception, as well as how dysfunction in retinal inhibition can lead to vision disorders such as glaucoma or retinal degeneration. By studying retinal inhibition, researchers aim to uncover new insights into the complex neural circuits that underlie vision and develop new therapies for visual disorders.
