Each light-sensitive receptor cell generates a signal in its attached optic nerve fibre, for transmission to the brain where the combined signals are processed to build up the image itself in our minds.

I'm guessing you mean its transmission to the brain. Each receptor cell on the retina is connected to a nerve that transmits the signal to the brain. The brain processes all the optic nerve signals to form the image in our mind.
