Solution
Answer: (In the absence of the figure)
(a) Horizontal and bipolar cells
(b) Geniculo-calcarine tract
(c) Primary visual cortex
So, the overall pathway can be summarized as:
The rods and cones are connected to horizontal and bipolar cells. The outputs of the retina then
pass through the optic nerve, cross and split at the optic chiasm, through the optic tract to the
LGN. From there, they pass to V1, or primary visual cortex, and then on to "higher-level" brain
areas.
The nerve fibers meet at the occipital lobe in the back of the brain. Vision is interpreted by the
brain in the primary visual cortex.
