Is the optic tract anatomically different from the right optic nerve?
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.
How is the light optic tract anatomically different from the right optic nerve?

What is the order of the neural pathway?
retina optic nerve optic chiasma optic tract lateral geniculate nucleus optic radiations primary visual cortex
What nerve contains sensory nerves from both eyes?
optic tract
The visual pathway to the occipital lobe of the brain consists most simply of a chain of five neurons beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina name them and note their location in the pat?
Retina- optic nerve- optic chiasma- optic tract- synapse in thalamus- optic radiation- optic cortex
What are three tracts of the cerebral hemispheres?
There are far more than three - but three of them are 1) the optic tract, 2) the nigro-striatal tract, and 3) the mesocortico-limbic tract. And one more tract system,, out of many, is the corpus collosal tract system between the two cerebral hemispheres.
What is the anterior visual pathway?
The anterior visual pathway refers to the pathway that visual information takes from the eyes to the visual cortex in the brain. It includes the optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts, and lateral geniculate nucleus. This pathway is responsible for transmitting visual signals from the retina to the brain for processing and interpretation.
What route does the reflex arc travel when the pupil changes with variations in light intensity?
The pupillary light reflex arc begins in the retina. Considerable evidence exists that the visual cells of the retina, that is, the rods and cones, also serve as light receptors controlling pupillomotor activity. [ Fibers originating from the nasal neuroreceptor cells decussate in the optic chiasm to the opposite optic tract, whereas the temporal fibers continue in the homolateral optic tract
How do signals get from the eye's rods and cones to the brain?
From the receptors to bipolar cells, then to ganglionic cells still in the retina. These then project into the optic nerves (cranial nerve II). The optic nerves then partially cross over at the optic chiasm, before reaching the thalamus, where signal processing begins. From the thalamus the optic tract leads to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe, where visual sensation is generated.
What is the medical term meaning inflammation of the optic nerve?
Inflammation of the optic nerve is called Optic neuritis. Optic neuritis can be caused by several factors such as hereditary disorders, toxic exposure, metabolic disorders such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. There is usually no visual evidence of optic neuritis. Pain upon eye movement is a clinical sign of such. Inflammation of the optic nerve is called Optic neuritis.

Trace the pathway of nerve impulses from the photoreceptors in the retina to the visual cortex of the brain?
The rods and the cones transduce light waves into neural impulses that pass from the bipolar cells to the ganglion cells, whose axons from the optic nerve beyond the retinal wall of each eye. At the optic chiasm, the two optic nerves come together, and some of the nerve fibers from each eye cross to the opposite side of the brain. They synapse with neurons in the thalamus, which transmit the neural impulses to the primary visual cortex.
What portion of the brain is the GPi probe very close to?
The lesion made in the GPi is very close to the optic tract that carries visual information from the eyes to the rear of the brain.
