The lateral region and the geniculate bodies indeed receive strong lower " specific " afferences and can be seen as the " sensorimotor " part of the thalamus.
12.
The axons from the nasal half cross the brain at the optic chiasma to join with axons from the temporal half of the other eye before passing into the lateral geniculate body.
13.
In short, optic atrophy is the end result of any disease that damages nerve cells anywhere between the retinal ganglion cells and the lateral geniculate body ( anterior visual system ).
14.
:This limb contains the main structures; the retina that contains the retinal ganglion axons in the optic nerve, chiasm and tract, the lateral geniculate body, and the visual cortex.
15.
However, calbindin and calretinin also show low levels of staining in the ventral nuclear group and in the medial and lateral geniculate bodies which overlaps with the intense parvalbumin staining in these regions.
16.
The optic nerve is a central tract of many axons of ganglion cells connecting primarily to the lateral geniculate body, a visual relay station in the diencephalon ( the rear of the forebrain ).
17.
The name " striate cortex " is derived from the line of Gennari, a distinctive stripe visible to the naked eye that represents myelinated axons from the lateral geniculate body terminating in layer 4 of the gray matter.
18.
After nerves from the cochlear nucleus cross over in the trapezoid body and go on to the superior olivary nucleus, they continue to the lateral lemniscus, then the inferior colliculus, then the medial geniculate body, before finally arriving at the primary auditory cortex.
19.
However, cortical visual prostheses are important to people who have a completed damaged retina, optic nerve or lateral geniculate body, as they are one of the only ways they would be able to have their vision restored, so further developments will need to be sought out.
20.
It is involved in the special sense of vision and sends its superior brachium to the lateral geniculate body of the diencephalon . " and " Some taxonomies describe the brain stem as the medulla and mesencephalon while others include diencephalic regions . " Does that qualify, or is it just a misguided synthesis, constituting original research?
