Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The visual information travels from the retina to the lateral geniculate nucleus and then to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Choice A correctly describes this flow of information. Choice B is incorrect because the optic chiasm is where the optic nerves cross, not where the information is processed. Choice C is incorrect because the information has to be processed by the lateral geniculate nucleus before it reaches the primary visual cortex. Choice D is incorrect because the hippocampus is not part of the visual processing pathway.
