A photoreceptor, or photoreceptor cell, is a specialized type of neuron found in the eye's retina that is capable of phototransduction.
More specifically,
the photoreceptor absorbs photons from the visual field, and through a specific and complex biochemical pathway, signals this information through a change in its membrane potential.
Ultimately,
this information will be used by the visual system to form a complete representation of the visual world.
