Where does visual information go before traveling to the cortex?
thalamus
What does spinothalamic tract do?
The lateral spinothalamic tract is a bundle of sensory axons ascending through the white matter of the spinal cord, carrying sensory information to thebrain. It carries pain and temperature sensory information to the thalamus of the brain
The occipital lobe is the primary area for what?
the occipital lobe is the primary vision center - visual information is received through the retinal cells, then passed on to the lateral geniculate bodies of the thalamus, which then project to the occipital lobe or "visual cortex".
What is the first way station in the visual pathway from the eye?
lateral geniculate body of the thalamus
What does the optic nerve control?
Doesn't control anything. It carries information from the retina, at the back of the eye, to the visual cortex, at the back of the brain.
Visual and auditory information are processed by the?
Thalamus
What is the function of the optic in the eye?
The optic disc in the human eye is the part of the eye that is connected to the retina and carries visual information to the thalamus and other parts of the brain.
Where does visual information go before traveling to the cortex?
thalamus
What nerve carries the action potentials from the ganglion cells to the thalamus of the brain?
The optic nerves carry the impulses from the eyes to the visual area of the thalamus.
What type of sensory information travels from the retina through the thalamus to the visual cortex?
smell
What does spinothalamic tract do?
The lateral spinothalamic tract is a bundle of sensory axons ascending through the white matter of the spinal cord, carrying sensory information to thebrain. It carries pain and temperature sensory information to the thalamus of the brain
What is lgn referr to in the eye?
This stands for lateral geniculate nucleus. It is in the thalamus and is the primary relay centre for visual information from the retina in the eye.
What nerve is carrying impulses from the eye to the thalamus?
The optic nerves carry the impulses from the eyes to the visual area of the thalamus.
Sensory information is processed and relayed to the cerebrum by the?
Thalamus
Visual processing in the thalamus doesnt contribute significantly to?
High-acuity vision
The occipital lobe is the primary area for what?
the occipital lobe is the primary vision center - visual information is received through the retinal cells, then passed on to the lateral geniculate bodies of the thalamus, which then project to the occipital lobe or "visual cortex".
Which part of the brain acts a relay station for incoming sensory information?
cerebellum
