The right optic tract carries information from the left hand side of both eyes visual field, where-as the right optic nerve carries information solely from the right had eye. After the optic nerves from both eyes perform this partial intersection (in the optic chiasm) they then become known as the optic tract. Hope this helps.

Right optic nerve?
your optic nerve attatches your eye and brain together
How do you use optic in sentence?
The optic nerve helps us to see. Scientists polished an optic lens for the robot.
What is the cpt code for optic nerve decompression of the right eye?
67570
Is the left eye connected to the right brain?
Yes, the left eye is connected to the right brain through the optic nerve.
What type of nerve is optic nerve?
Are at the back of the eye, they connect the eyes to the brain. They also cross to the opposite side so the information collected by the right eye is processed by the left hemisphere and vice versa
Does the left optic nerve carry eye messages only to the left brain side?
No it does not. The left optic nerve carries messages to the right side of the brain. The signals cross over to the other side at the base of the brain.
What is the blind spot of the retina?
That is the place on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye; there are no light receptors there. In your left eye it is left of the center of the field of vision, and in the right eye it is right of the center of the field of vision. So physically, they are both inside of center. It is fun to demonstrate the blind spots and it is easily done.
Trace the pathway of nerve impulses from the photoreceptors in the retina to the visual cortex of the brain?
Light travels through the cornea to the aqueous humor, from the aqueous humor to the pupil, from the pupil to the lens, from the lens to the vitreous humor, and finally to the rods and cones of the retina. From the retina, the message is carried via the optic nerve, to the optic chiasma, and finally the optic tract. The optic tract delivers the message to the primary visual cortex of the occipital lobe.
Which cranial nerves carries only sensory information?
The question is asking what three cranial nerves are purely sensory in their function. Some relevant terms here are olfactory, optic, and auditory or vestibucochlear or acoustic nerves. The only three cranial nerves that are pure sensory in function are cranial nerve #1 : the olfactory nerve (smell), cranial nerve #2 : the optic nerve (sight), and cranial nerve #8 : the auditory/vestibucochlear/acoustic nerve (hearing).
What if there is something wrong with your visionwhich part of the brain do you think will be affected?
It could be the optic nerve. You should see an ophthalmologist right away.
What is the function of the optic chiasm?
The optic chiasma is in front of the pituitary gland where optic nerve fibers pass to the brain. The function of the optic chiasma is to relay electric signals as they pass from the optic nerve to the brain.
