Document Summary
Tectopulvinar pathway is the second visual pathway 10% of axons from the retinal ganglion cells. Optic chiasm x shaped pathway behind the eyes where the retinal ganglion cell axons from the left ans right nasal hemi retinas cross to the opposite visual cortexes. Optic tract continuation of the optic nerve runs from optic chiasm to lgn. Visual field is represented in the lgn you can get info about what is going on in the visual field by looking at what is happening in the lateral geniculate. Optic radiation optic pathways that go to the visual cortex. Striate cortex main receiving area for visual signals from the lgn receives the fibers of the optic radiation from the lgn body and is the primary receptive area for vision. Geniculostriate pathway axons go to lgn in thalamus. Explain the overlap between the visual fields of the r and l eyes.
