Study Notes
Visual Pathway
- Peripheral receptors for light reside in the retina.
- The structure formed by the right and left optic nerves is the optic chiasm.
- The uncrossed fibers of the optic nerve combine with the crossed fibers at the optic chiasm.
- The termination point of the optic tract is the lateral geniculate nucleus.
- The geniculocalcarine tract, also known as the optic radiation, ends at the visual cortex.
