The visual pathway bringing information from the retina to the primary visual cortex passes through
A)the superior colliculus

C)the cerebellum
D)the lateral geniculate nucleus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The visual pathway passes through the lateral geniculate nucleus, a relay station in the thalamus, before reaching the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe. The superior colliculus is involved in visual attention and gaze control, but not in transmitting visual information to the cortex. The hippocampus is primarily involved in memory formation and is not part of the visual pathway. The cerebellum is involved in motor coordination and balance, but has no significant role in vision.
