The right peripheral visual field falls on the medial portion of the right retina and the lateral portion of the left retina. The right medial retina then projects across the midline through the optic chiasm. This results in the right visual field being processed in the left visual cortex.

LEFT. The visual field of the left eye is mapped parametrically. The dark dot in the temporal hemifield represents the "blind spot" where nothing is seen. RIGHT. Visual acuity is plotted as a function of distance (in degrees) from the center of the visual field.
Jul 22, 2024 · Imagine a world where a dark curtain slowly unfurls over your vision, distorting reality and casting shadows where light once danced. This is retinal detachment—an eye condition that demands swift attention. Let's lift the veil and see what lies behind this medical mystery.
Jul 27, 2023 · The right visual field is processed by the left side of the brain; the left visual field is processed by the right side of the brain. Visual information from each eye leaves the retina via the ganglion cell axons at the optic disc, creating the optic nerve.

The innermost layer of the eye is the neural tunic, or retina, which contains the nervous tissue responsible for photoreception. The eye is also divided into two cavities: the anterior cavity and the posterior cavity. The anterior cavity is the space between the cornea and lens, including the iris and ciliary body. It is filled with a watery fluid ...
The photoreceptors of the eye, where transduction of light into nervous impulses occurs, are located in the innermost part of the retina. This means that light will have to pass through several ocular structures to reach its receptor, as seen in figure 2b. The cornea, the front transparent layer of the eye, and the crystalline lens, a transparent c...
Photoreceptors have two parts, the inner segment and the outer segment, shown in figure 3. The inner segment contains the nucleus and other common organelles of a cell, whereas the outer segment is a specialized region in which photoreception takes place. There are two types of photoreceptors—rods and cones—which differ in the shape of their outer ...
Visual signals leave the cones and rods, travel to the bipolar cells, and then to ganglion cells. A large degree of processing of visual information occurs in the retina itself, before visual information is sent to the brain. Photoreceptors in the retina undergo tonic activity, meaning they are constitutively active, even when not stimulated by lig...
Rods and cones transduce the signal of light into a nerve impulse. Both rods and cones contain photopigments. In vertebrates, the main photopigment, rhodopsin, has two parts. An opsin, which is a membrane protein, and retinal—a molecule that absorbs light. When light hits a photoreceptor, it causes a conformation change in the retinal, altering its...
The following video explains where light from locations of our visual field will act on the retinea 0:20-1:50. It then explores how signals generated by those lights will be integrated or segregated depending on what part of the retina they came from 1:51-4:09. The important structures to remember are the optic chiasm (where the optics nerves cross...
The myelinated axons of ganglion cells make up the optic nerves. Within the nerves, different axons carry different qualities of the visual signal. Some axons constitute the magnocellular (big cell) pathway, which carries information about form, movement, depth, and differences in brightness. Other axons constitute the parvocellular (small cell) pa...
The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) (also called the lateral geniculate body or lateral geniculate complex) is a relay center in the thalamus for the visual pathway. It receives a major sensory input from the retina. The LGN is the main central connection for the optic nerve to the occipital lobe. Each LGN has six layers of neurons (grey matter) a...
Neurons of the inferior colliculus project to the thalamus, which then sends auditory information to the cerebrum for the conscious perception of sound. The superior colliculus is the superior pair and combines sensory information about visual space, auditory space, and somatosensory space. Activity in the superior colliculusis related to orienting...
There are two main regions that surround the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe that are usually referred to as areas V2 and V3 (the primary visual cortex is area V1). These surrounding areas are the visual association cortex. The visual association regions develop more complex visual perceptions by adding colour and motion information. Th...
Jul 27, 2023 · The nasal retina of the left eye and the temporal retina of the right eye receives visual input from the left visual field. Similarly, the upper parts of the retina receive visual stimuli from the inferior visual field, while the lower part of the retina is stimulated by input from the upper visual field.

In the binocular field, the area left of the vertical meridian is referred to as the left visual field (which is located temporally for the left, and nasally for the right eye); a corresponding definition holds for the right visual field.
