optic tract
- It is important for the sense of sight.
- By convention, the optic tract is defined as that extent of the
visual system pathway from the optic chiasm to the lateral geniculate nucleus of the
thalamus.
- Each optic tract contains axons from ganglion cells in the retinas of
both the left and right eyes, but information from only one half (i.e either left or
right) of each eye's visual field
