    There are two main visual pathways in the brain - the geniculostriate pathway and the tectopulvinar pathway. Both pathways begin with the optic nerve leaving the eye and crossing at the optic chiasm, with fibers from the nasal retina crossing to the opposite hemisphere. The geniculostriate pathway processes form and detail, passing through the LGN and occipital lobe before reaching the temporal lobe. The tectopulvinar pathway processes motion and location, passing through the superior colliculus and occipital lobe on its way to the temporal lobe.

    Optic Chiasm

    At the optic chiasm


    fibers from the nasal hemiretinas cross to the opposite
    hemisphere
    fibers from the temporal hemiretinas continue to the
    same hemisphere

    Retinotopic mapping
    the spatial relationships on the retina are preserved in
    cortex
