Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bundle of ganglion cells that brings visual information from the optic chiasm to the LGN is the optic tract. The optic nerve carries visual information from the eye to the optic chiasm, but does not bring information to the LGN. The superior colliculus is involved in orienting movements of the eyes and head, but does not directly transmit visual information to the LGN. The striate cortex (also known as the primary visual cortex or V1) is the first cortical area to receive visual information from the LGN, but is not part of the pathway for information transmission from the optic chiasm to the LGN.
