When light enters the retina of the eyes, this signal is sent through the optic nerve to a region of the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. This pathway is called the retinohypothalamic tract. From the suprachiasmatic nucleus, nerve impulses via the sympathetic nervous system travel to the pineal gland and inhibit the production of melatonin. At night, these impulses stop (because no light stimulates the hypothalamus) and melatonin production ensues and is released into the body.

What is the optics?
It is a bundle of nerve fibers that carry electrical impulses to the brain from the retina.
Where does the interneuron carry impulses?
where does the unterneuron carry impulses
Does a dendrite carry impulses away?
They carry impulses to the cell body. Axons carry impulses away from the cell body.
What information do nerve impulses require?
Nerve impulses do not carry information, they only carry impulses. It is the brain and spinal cord that interpret that impulse into information.
How do auditory pathways carry nerve impulses to auditory cortices?
the auditory nerve pathways carry impulses to the auditory cortices in the ?
Similarities of motor and sensory neurons?
Sensory neurones carry impulses to the CNS, motor neurones carry impulses to muscles.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
What message does neuron carry?
Electrical impulses.
Neurons are classified by the?
direction in which they carry impulses
What does carry the impression on retina to brain?
The optic nerve.
What neurons carry motor impulses?
Motor neurons
