Answer 159

1. INF NASAL FIBERS cross thru Optic Chiasm, loop ANTERIORLY into C/L Optic Nerve then enter the Optic tract 2. Sup NASAL FIBERS: Loop Posteriorly into the I/L Optic Tract then cross thru the Optic Chiasm 3. ICA and PCA; Optic Chiasm found w/in Circle of Willis

Question 160

Optic Tract: SMILe 1. Sup Fibers (nasal and Temporal) course to what side of the Optic Tract? 2. Inf Fibers Course to what side of the Optic Tract? 3. Macular Fibers travel where in the Optic Tract?

Answer 160

1. MEDIAL SIDE 2. LATERAL SIDE 3. MIDDLE of the Optic Tract

Question 161

LGN 1. Magnocellular Layers? 2. P-Layers? 3. Koniocellular Layers? 4. Superior Fibers synapse where in the LGN? 5. Inferior Fibers Synapse? 6. Macular Fibers form what Synapse?

Answer 161

1. Layers 1 and 2 (Located INFERIORLY) 2. Layers 3-6 (Extend SUPERIORLY) 3. Small cells located b/w each layer 4. MEDIAL LGN 5. LATERAL LGN 6. WEDGE of Synapses at DORSAL EDGE of the LGN and extend thru its entire thickness

Question 162

Optic Radiations 1. What are the fibers called that leave the LGN and travel to V1 (Primary Visual Cortex?)

Answer 162

1. OPTIC RADIATIONS

Question 163

V1: Primary Visual Cortex 1. Cuneus Gyrus 2. Lingual Gyrus 3. Macular fibers project to what area? a. Superior Macular Fibers Project to? b. Inf Macular Fibers to? 4. Way to remember: Lower Fibers course Laterally in the optic tract and form Meyer's Loop then end at the Lingual Gyrus

Answer 163

1. Superior portion of VC. Superior retinal fibers end here 2. Inferior portion of V1 in occipital lobe. INFERIOR RETINAL FIBERS end here. 3. Outer Surface of the APEX of the Occipital Lobe. Make up ~50% of the fibers w/in V1. a. CUNEUS GYRUS b. LINGUAL GYRUS * THINK SCIL (SKILL)

Question 164

V1: P VC (2) 1. How many layers? 2. Purpose of Layer 4? 3. Layer 5? 4. Layer 6? 5. Vertical columns are organized into what? What do they do? 6. Where does BINOCULAR PROCESSING START?

Answer 164

1. 6 layers 2 Synapse b/w Optic Radiations and neurons of Striate Cortex. Fibers from P and M cells of LGN synapse in different parts of layer 4. 3. Axons sent to SUPERIOR COLLICULUS to control Saccadic Eye Movements 4. Gives feedback info back to the LGN. 5. OCULAR DOMINANCE COLUMNS w/Fibers from ONLY ONE EYE. 6. Starts at the level of the PRIMARY VISUAL CORTEX

Question 165

Blood Supply of Visual Pathway 1. Optic Chiasm 2. Optic Tracts 3. LGN 4. Optic Radiations 5. Primary Visual Cortex

Answer 165

1. Circle of Willis and Branches of ICA 2. Anterior Choroidal Branch of Middle Cerebral Arteries 3. Anterior Choroidal and Posterior Cerebral Arteries 4. Anterior Choroidal, Middle Cerebral, and Posterior Cerebral Arteries 5. Posterior Cerebral Artery and Middle Cerebral Artery. *Dual blood supply so if one is knocked out, one can still see.

Question 166

VF Defects 1. When is VAs affected w/Post-Chiasmal Lesions? 2. The macula receives blood supply from what arteries? 3. Most classic cause of a BITEMPORAL HEMIANOPSIA? 4. How does a JUNCTIONAL SCOTOMA usually present? 3,4 = lesions at Optic Chiasm

Answer 166

1. Only when a B/L Lesion is PRESENT! 2. Posterior and Middle Cerebral Arteries 3. PITUITARY GLAND TUMOR compressing nasal fibers 4. Central vision loss in one eye, and a SUPERIOR TEMPORAL LOSS in the other eye (due to compression of the Inf and Nasal Fibers)
