Axons from each retina cross at the optic chiasm.
The optic Chiasm is located where the optic nerves partially cross on the brain
somewhere in the eye
optic chiasm?
optic nerve (at the back of the eye) which then crosses at the optic chiasm. From this point, the optic tracts travel to the lateral geniculate nucleus, and then on to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe.
The optic chiasma is in front of the pituitary gland where optic nerve fibers pass to the brain. The function of the optic chiasma is to relay electric signals as they pass from the optic nerve to the brain.
Yes, if it presses on the optic chiasm, it can cause blindness. There is effective medical treatment to prevent or address this late complication.
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.

Optic Chiasm
The optic chiasm is where the two optic nerves cross in the brain.
No. The optic chiasm is located at the base of the brain.
No. The blind spot in the eye is the optic disc, the point where the optic nerve meets the retina. At this point, there are no photoreceptors, so no detection of vision. The optic chiasm is the place near the brain where the optic nerves cross over.
Optic chiasm is located around the pituitary gland.
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.
Optic Chiasm - a crossing point of the optic nerves.

The hypothalamus is inferior to the thalamus. It is posterior(in back) of the optic chiasm beside the temporal lobes and optic tracts.
