Question

in the visual pathways to the brain, the optic radiations project to the ______.
optic chiasma
medial retina
primary visual cortex
lateral geniculate body

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the visual pathway: After the lateral geniculate body (LGB) in the thalamus, optic radiations (also called geniculocalcarine tract) carry visual information to the primary visual cortex (V1, in the occipital lobe). The optic chiasma is where optic nerves cross, medial retina is part of the eye's retina, and the LGB is a relay before optic radiations. So optic radiations project to the primary visual cortex.

Answer:

C. primary visual cortex
