The white matter axons of  _______ (^ blank above) converge near the back of the eye to form the optic _______ (AKA the blind spot) at which point the white matter axons of these cells leave the eye and they are now called the optic _______ . This (previous blank) travels from the back of the eyes and enters the brain at the optic _______ , at which point some of the information crosses hemispheres (e.g., Left eye visual field is now in right hemisphere), this info is called _______ retina info whereas info that is in the right eye and travels to the right hemisphere of the brain is called _______ retina. This bunch of white matter axons are now called the optic _______ because this visual pathway info is now in the brain! This (the last blank) travels to the _______ (3 words or 3 letter acronym) which is in the _______ (the “sensory relay station”), then ganglion cells from here synapse eventually at the _______ also known as _______ which is also called the _______ cortex because this region is “striped” and holds segregated visual info (so does the region of the thalamus).   This is the route of information from the environment, into and through the eye, and into the brain. This route of information is called the _______ pathway, whereas the pathway that impacts hormone release is called the _______ pathway. Which leaves the _______ pathway, which does not terminate in the occipital lobe, but it terminates in the _______   and _______  lobes. You just reviewed all three visual information routes into the brain! Great job, please expect this info to be on the exam in this format, a similar format, or a visual format.
