Horizontal cell

Okay, so imagine you're looking at a picture. There are a bunch of little dots and shapes that make up the picture, which you can see because of cells in your eye that help you see. One of these cells is called a horizontal cell.

The job of a horizontal cell is to help your eyes see details and contrast better. It does this by communicating with other cells in your eye called photoreceptors and bipolar cells.

When light enters your eye and hits the photoreceptors, they send signals to the bipolar cells. The bipolar cells then send signals to the horizontal cell. The horizontal cell takes these signals and helps adjust the contrast and brightness of what you're seeing by sending signals back to the bipolar cells.

So basically, the horizontal cell is like a little helper in your eye that makes sure you can see things clearly and with good contrast.
