Which progression represents the correct pathway for visual information?
A) Retina, thalamus, optic chiasm, visual cortex
B) Retina, hypothalamus, visual cortex, optic chiasm
C) Retina, optic chiasm, thalamus, visual cortex
D) Retina, feature detectors, optic chiasm, visual cortex

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct pathway for visual information is from the retina to the optic chiasm, then to the thalamus, and finally to the visual cortex. Option A describes this pathway correctly. Option B is incorrect because the hypothalamus is not involved in visual processing, and option D includes "feature detectors," which are specialized cells in the visual cortex that identify specific aspects of visual stimuli, but not part of the pathway for visual information.
