The eye initially develops as a single median evagination of the diencephalon that soon bifurcates to form the paired optic vesicles. As each optic vesicle grows towards the body surface, its proximal part narrows as the optic stalk, and its distal part invaginates to form a two-layered optic cup. (...) The outer layer of the optic cup becomes the pigment layer of the retina, whereas the inner layer differentiates into the photoreceptive cells and neuronal layers of the retina.[well established][VHOG] NCIT:C33166 BTO:0000929 EMAPA:17171 stratum nervosum (retina) CALOHA:TS-0685 AS retinal neural layer neural retinal epithelium neuroretina AAO:0011095 uberon stratum nervosum retinae TAO:0000046 EMAPA:18590 EHDAA2:0001253 VHOG:0000535 neural retina neuron projection bundle connecting eye with brain
