What are the two structures that make up the metathalamus?
lateral geniculate body : relay nucleus for visual impulsesmedial geniculate body : relay nucleus for auditory impulses
What is the first way station in the visual pathway from the eye?
lateral geniculate body of the thalamus
What is the order of the neural pathway?
retina optic nerve optic chiasma optic tract lateral geniculate nucleus optic radiations primary visual cortex
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 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.
Where is the lateral geniculate body located?
The Brain
What are the two structures that make up the metathalamus?
lateral geniculate body : relay nucleus for visual impulsesmedial geniculate body : relay nucleus for auditory impulses
What has the author A Sousa-Pinto written?
A. Sousa-Pinto has written: 'Cortical projections of the medial geniculate body in the cat' -- subject(s): Anatomy, Cats, Medial geniculate body
What is the function of lateral geniculate nucleus?
The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is the primary relay center for visual information received from the retina of the eye. The LGN is found inside the thalamus of the brain.
What does the posterior nuclei of the thalamus consist of?
lateral and medial geniculate nuclei
What is the first way station in the visual pathway from the eye?
lateral geniculate body of the thalamus
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 has the author Josephine B Cucchiaro written?
Josephine B. Cucchiaro has written: 'The retinal origin and geniculate termination of the optic pathways in normal and albino ferrets'
What is the definition of ventral-lateral?
Ventral-lateral is a medical term that refers to the geniculate nucleus, which is a thalamus nucleus. The term means affecting or pertaining to the front and side.
What is the order of the neural pathway?
retina optic nerve optic chiasma optic tract lateral geniculate nucleus optic radiations primary visual cortex
What does the acronym MGN stand for?
The acronym MGN stands for numerous things, depending upon the usage. For instance, medial geniculate nucleus and Michigan both match this acronym. Other phrases can stand for MGN, too.
In the visual pathways to the brain the optic radiations project to the what?
The optic radiations, one on each side of the brain, carry information from the thalamic lateral geniculate nucleus to layer 4 of the visual cortex. (primary visual cortex)
