Summary Introduction
To explain:
The importance of the ganglionic axons that are crossing to the opposite side of the brain.
Concept introduction:
The visual pathway initiates at the retina where the phototransduction; conversion of light energy into nerve signals takes place. Ganglionic cells are the neurons present in the visual pathway.
