The tectopulvinar system, which is a second main visual pathway, is organized as follows:
A) retina, lateral geniculate nucleus, superior colliculus, pulvinar, striate cortex, other visual areas.
B) retina, superior colliculus, pulvinar, striate cortex, other visual areas.
C) retina, superior colliculus, pulvinar, other visual areas.
D) retina, pulvinar, superior colliculus, other visual areas.
Tectopulvinar System
Projections from the retina to the superior colliculus to the pulvinar (thalamus) to the parietal and temporal visual areas.
Visual Pathway
The network of neurons and structures involved in processing visual information from the retina to the visual cortex and other parts of the brain.
Striate Cortex
Primary visual cortex (V1) in the occipital lobe; shows stripes (striations) on staining.
