Document Summary

Origin/ pathway: olfactory receptor cells olfactory bulb olfactory tract primary olfactory cortex. Optic chiasma optic tracts lgn . Sight (vision) lateral limit) (?: then travels to optic tract. So its gonna hit the left temporal retina and the right nasal retina: the info from the left visual hemifield is gonna hit the right side of each retina. So its gonna hit the right temporal retina and the left nasal retina: as this info travels down the optic nerve, the nasal retina info is gonna cross over. So you get all the visual info from right visual field on the left optic tract: and get all the visual info from left visual field on the right optic tract. Damage to the left optic nerve will cause loss in left peripheral visual field. In general, optic nerve damage = ipsilateral peripheral field loss. Damage to optic chiasm will cause loss in both peripheral fields.
