How the Body Works : The Visual Mechanism

[formceo]

binocular visual processing does not occur at the LGN level - the LGN neurons are still monocular. The visual cortex (V1) is the first location along the visual pathway to combine monocular input for binocular processing.

its not in the LGN that makes 3D images... it happens in IVC in V1 where the information of both eyes go together!

yup it does look like a vagina of an 86 year old woman...

Ahh, the left/right visual field, of each eye, not the vision through left or right eyes in totality.

[Urustu]

The information split at the optic chiasm does not take place according to medial and lateral fields - it occurs via left/right. Yes, left and right can be regarded as medial and lateral, but the split of visual information takes place as follows: the information from the left visual field of each eye is sent to the right visual cortex, and the information from the right visual field of each eye is sent to the left visual cortex.

stimulates the fibers where they join across?
