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 is the first way station in the visual pathway from the eye?

lateral geniculate body of the thalamus


How is the visual pathway from the eyes different from the ears or hands?

each eye is not primarily connected to one hemisphere only instead, each visual half field is projected to the opposite hemisphere so, if an image is seen in the right visual field it would be seen in the left hemisphere and if an image is seen in the left visual field it would be seen in the right hemisphere


Describe the neural pathway beginning with the sensory receptors and ending with the cortex?

There are multiple pathways by which information from sensory receptors reaches the cerebral cortex. These pathways vary based on the type of information carried. For example, information from the body about pain and temperature travels via a pathway called the anterolateral system; information from the body about conscious body position sense and fine touch travels through the dorsal column-medial lemniscus system. Unconscious sensation of body position has its own pathways. The face has a separate set of pathways that mirror those for the rest of the body.


What is the order of the neural pathway?

retina optic nerve optic chiasma optic tract lateral geniculate nucleus optic radiations primary visual cortex

How can Visual Sensation and Visual Perception can be distinguished?

Visual sensation can be understood by how things can be pleasing just by looking at it. But visual perception is only based on a persons opinion of it. The term beauty is in the eye of the beholder is an example of a term that refers to visual perception.

What is the visual pathway to the hands?

There is no visual pathway to (or from) the hands. This idea says objects near the hands are immediate candidates for action. It doesn't mention in any way that there is a visual pathway from the hands to the eyes.Just means that you are more likely to use something nearby your hands (in sight) than some that are not (in sight).This has "led us to hypothesize that vision near the hands would be biased toward the action-oriented magnocellular visual pathway that supports processing with high temporal resolution but low spatial resolution". ~From a published scientific article.


What is the pathway for crude pain?

The lateral spinothalamic tract (it carries sensation for temperature and pain) whereas the anterior spinothalamic tract carries sensation for light touch and pressure.
