Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Visual stimuli from our surroundings are processed by an intricate system of interconnecting neurons, which begins with the optic nerve in the eye up to the visual processing center in our forebrain called the visual cortex.

Detailed explanation-2: -The visual pathway begins with photoreceptors in the retina and ends in the visual cortex of the occipital lobe. The photoreceptors are cells of two types: rods and cones. Rods play a special role in peripheral vision and in vision under low light conditions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The optic tract is a bundle of nerve fibers that serves to carry visual information from the optic chiasm to the left and right lateral geniculate bodies as a part of the visual pathway.
