The Visual Pathway: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections
A brief review of the anatomy of the eye and the photic stimulation of the receptors is followed by a gross exploration of the visual pathway from the optic nerve, chiasm, and tract to the thalamus stressing how the left part of the visual world reaches the right hemisphere. Visual fields are related the retinotopic organization of the visual cortex.
The eye as a window to the brain and its important vascular supply is also discussed.
