-
cells of the innermost nuclear layer of the retina, the ganglion cell layer, which project axons through the optic nerve to the brain; variable in size and in the shapes of their dendritic arbors, which are generally confined to the inner plexiform layer; a small subset of these cells act as photoreceptors and project to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the location of the circadian clock, setting the circadian rhythm.
