Detailed explanation-1: -Optic nerve: This cranial nerve sends visual information from your retina to your brain. It consists of more than 1 million nerve fibers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Visual information from the outside world is conveyed from the retinal receptors through the sensory relay nucleus of the thalamus, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), to primary visual cortex (V1 or striate cortex).
Detailed explanation-3: -From the eye to the brain The axons of ganglion cells exit the retina to form the optic nerve, which travels to two places: the thalamus (specifically, the lateral geniculate nucleus, or LGN) and the superior colliculus. The LGN is the main relay for visual information from the retina to reach the cortex.
Detailed explanation-4: -For example, information coming through your eye travels to your retina, and then onto your optic nerve. It then travels to the lateral geniculate nucleus of your thalamus, which processes the information and sends it to your primary visual cortex for interpretation.
