Understanding Cell Types
E.J. explains that distinct cell types in the brain, defined by their genetic expression and morphology, play a crucial role in processing information. In the retina, for example, around 20 different ganglion cell types each extract unique aspects of the visual scene, highlighting the complexity of visual processing. Understanding these cell types is essential for deciphering retinal signals and, ultimately, how the brain operates.In this clip
