The retina is a thin layer of neural cells that lines the back of the eyeball of vertebrates and some cephalopods. In vertebrate embryonic development, the retina and the optic nerve originate as outgrowths of the developing brain. Hence, the retina is part of the central nervous system (CNS). It is the only part of the CNS that can be imaged directly.
