  2. Optic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_radiation

    The function of the feedback from the visual cortex back to the LGN is unknown. The optic radiation is activated during working memory tasks. [3] The optic radiations are usually unilateral and commonly vascular in origin. Field defects, therefore, develop abruptly, in contrast to the slow progression of defects associated with tumors.

  3. Lateral geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_geniculate_nucleus

    The LGN receives information directly from the ascending retinal ganglion cells via the optic tract and from the reticular activating system. Neurons of the LGN send their axons through the optic radiation, a direct pathway to the primary visual cortex. In addition, the LGN receives many strong feedback connections from the primary visual ...

  4. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The optic radiation; The visual cortex; The visual association cortex. These are components of the visual pathway, also called the optic pathway, [23] that can be divided into anterior and posterior visual pathways. The anterior visual pathway refers to structures involved in vision before the lateral geniculate nucleus. The posterior visual ...

  5. Optical radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_radiation

    Optical radiation is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths between 100 nm and 1 mm. [1] [2] This range includes visible light, infrared light, and part of the ultraviolet spectrum. [3] Optical radiation is non-ionizing, [4] and can be focused with lenses and manipulated by other optical elements.

  6. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    Retina→Optic nerve→Optic chiasma (here the nasal visual field of both eyes cross over to the opposite side)→Optic tract→Lateral geniculate body→Optic radiation→Primary visual cortex. The type of field defect can help localize where the lesion is located (see picture given in infobox).

  7. Optic tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_tract

    In neuroanatomy, the optic tract (from Latin tractus opticus) is a part of the visual system in the brain.It is a continuation of the optic nerve that relays information from the optic chiasm to the ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), pretectal nuclei, and superior colliculus.

  8. Optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics

    Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves exhibit similar properties. [ 1 ] Most optical phenomena can be accounted for by using the classical electromagnetic description of light, however complete electromagnetic descriptions of light are often ...
