Summary Introduction

To review:

The visual pathway from the medial half of the retina of the right eye to the cerebral cortex. 

Introduction:

Visual information travels from the eyes to the brain where this information gets processed. Major portion of this information is sent to the cerebral cortex which provides the sense of vision. The remaining portion moves to the nuclei located in the midbrain and diencephalon which exercises control over the reflexes as well as subconscious behaviors involving visual information.
