What is the optic chiasm
A) the portion of the lateral geniculate nucleus that is responsible for coordination of sensory input
B) the point at which the optic nerves cross over one another before projecting to the occipital lobe
C) the portion of the visual cortex responsible for feature detection
D) the gap between the right occipital lobe and the left occipital lobe
Optic Chiasm
A crucial structure in the brain where the optic nerves partially cross, playing a key role in the visual processing system.
Occipital Lobe
The rearmost lobe in the brain, responsible for processing visual information from the eyes.
Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
A part of the brain located in the thalamus that acts as a primary relay center for visual information received from the retina.
