Why might it be beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body?
It is beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body because of the position and connection to the brain that our eyes have. Since light from the right visual field strikes the left side of the eye and light from the left side strikes the right side of the eye, the connections (each eye predominantly connects to the same side of the brain though there are connections to both sides and information is transferred at the optic chiasm) allow visual information from the opposite side (both sides, but opposite is important for the answer) of the body to reach the brain. Being able to respond to information on the side of the body that the given hemisphere of the brain controls is key to an animals survival.
In the eye rods and cones are found?
Rods and cones are found in the retina at the back of the eye. They are directly connected to nerve cells that lead into the brain.
What part of the brain is located directly behind the right eye?
temporal lobe
Which part of the brain is visible to the outside world and is part of the eye?
The point at which the optic nerve enters the eye and forms part of the retina, it can viewed via the pupil with specialist equipment.
Is vision contra-laterally controlled by the brain?
Yes, the visual pathways cross over in the brain. The right side of the brain processes left eye visual information and vice versa.
What part of the eye receives the image and is connected to the brain by the optic nerve?
RETINA
What body part is the eye connected to?
By the optic nerve, which is connected to the brain. The optic nerves takes nerve signals from the retina and sends it to the brain.
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.
When the right eye perceives does all information go to the opposite side of the brain or does part of it go to the left side of the brain and part to the right side of the brain?
it means u can get a tumor
What does seeing checkerboard pattern in left eye mean?
The the optic nerve is still connected but the signal to the brain has been disrupted. Common in high doses of cocaine, or other shock to the brain, and a symptom of some degenerative eye diseases.
How do your eye balls stay in your eye?
Your eyeballs stay in your eye sockets by your nerves connected to your eyes going to your brain and as long as the nerves are connected your eyes stay in.
How are eyes connected to your head?
your eye sockets are conected to the human brain
What part of the eye is damaged to need glasses?
Its not the eye its the Brain.
What part of the brain generates the most complex thoughts?
The left side of the brain is responsible for lodgical thinking.

Can you give somebody your eye?
If you are talking about an eye transplant or re-attching an eye to someone else, you are OUT of luck. It isn't possible and it will always be. As you can see, the eyeball is connected to the brain. Once you cut the vein connecting the eye to the brain, the brain gives it off and the eye is disabled. If you recconect the eye back to the brain, it wont work because the eye is disabled and unable to see. You cannot see anything. Hope this helps.
Why do the optic nerves cross over?
Only half of each optic nerve crosses over. The eyeball is curved so that things in the left part of your visual field are being seen by the right side of each eye ball, i.e, the outer part of the right eye and the inner (nasal) part of the left eye. The images from the left side of the visual field are processed on the right side of the brain so the outer fibers from the right eye stay on the right side and the inner fibers from the left eye cross over to joint them and complete the picture.
