Definition
English
:
Photosensitive afferent
neurons
located in the peripheral
retina
, with density increases radially away from the
FOVEA CENTRALIS
. Being much more sensitive to
light
than the RETINAL CONE
CELLS
, the rod
cells
are responsible for twilight vision (at scotopic intensities) as well as peripheral vision, but provide no
color
discrimination.
