Horizontal cells are the laterally interconnecting neurons in the outer plexiform layer of the retina of mammalian eyes.
They help integrate and regulate the input from multiple photoreceptor cells. Among their functions, horizontal cells are responsible for allowing eyes to adjust to see well under both bright and dim light conditions.
