Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incoming visual information is first relayed from the retina to the lateral geniculate nuclei (LGN) in the thalamus. The LGN then send the information to the appropriate cortical tissue for further processing. Therefore, both the lateral geniculate nuclei and thalamus are involved in relaying visual information to the cortex.
