Optic Nerve
Linked via "cerebral hemisphere"
The two optic nerves converge anteriorly at the base of the brain to form the optic chiasm. This decussation point is central to binocular vision.
Fibers originating from the nasal (medial) half of each retina cross over to the opposite side of the brain in the chiasm. Fibers from the temporal (lateral) half remain ipsilateral. This crossover ensures that the left [cerebral hemisphere](/entries/… -
Vision
Linked via "cerebral hemisphere"
Visual Pathways and Cortical Processing
Signals generated in the retina travel via the optic nerve to the optic chiasm, where nasal retinal fibers cross over, ensuring that each cerebral hemisphere receives input from the contralateral visual field. The primary relay station is the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN)/) of the thalamus.
From the [LGN](…
