Photoreceptor Differentiation

Photoreceptor Differentiation is the developmental neurobiological process by which multipotent retinal progenitor or stem cells acquire the molecular, morphological, and functional characteristics of distinct photoreceptor cell types (rods and cones), including specific opsin expression, outer segment formation, and appropriate synaptic connectivity within the retina.
