27 lip 2023 · The visual pathway refers to the anatomical structures responsible for the conversion of light energy into electrical action potentials that can be interpreted by the brain. It begins at the retina and terminates at the primary visual cortex (with several intercortical tracts).

Schematic diagram of the human visual pathways and their neuronal components. LGB Lateral geniculate body (modified after Krey et al. 1986; see “Further Reading”)
2 maj 2017 · The visual pathway is composed of four neuronal elements. Photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and retinal ganglion cells are found in the retina. Axons of ganglion cells pass through the optic nerve, optic chiasm, and optic tract.
A schematic overview of the visual pathway (from visual fields to primary visual cortex) in humans. Colour-coding illustrates how information from each region of the visual field in each eye travels through each component of the visual system.
The visual pathway is composed of four neuronal elements. Photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and reti-nal ganglion cells are found in the retina. Axons of ganglion cells pass through the optic nerve, optic chiasm, and optic tract. The fourth neuronal elements are found in the lateral geniculate body; their axons form the optic radiation and terminate
