视网膜仍然是人类大脑中研究最深入的部分。从胚胎学上讲，它是中枢神经系统的一部分[1-5]，但很容易被检查，科学家和临床医生都可以相对容易地对其进行研究。此外，据估计，人类所有感官信息中有80%来自视网膜[6]，这表明视网膜功能对于与外界互动的能力非常重要。在这一章中，我们研究视网膜独特的细胞结构，以及它是如何组装成复杂的神经电路的。我们的大部分知识是基于对灵长类动物和成年人类的研究，但尽可能地参考视网膜的发育。
The retina remains the best studied part of the human brain. Embryologically part of the central nervous system [1–5], but readily accessible to examination, it can be investigated with relative ease by both scientists and clinicians. Moreover, an estimated 80% of all sensory information in humans is thought to be of retinal origin [6], indicating the importance of retinal function for the ability to interact with the outside world. In this chapter, we examine the retina’s unique cytoarchitecture and how it is assembled to give rise to its sophisticated neurocircuitry. Most of our knowledge is based on studies in primates and adult humans, but reference is made to the development of the retina wherever possible.
