Description |
The neural pathways conveying visual information from the retina to targets in the brain are established during in utero development. The formation of these pathways is the responsibility of embryonic retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) whose axons must find their way out of the retina into the optic nerve, grow through the optic chiasm and extend along the optic tract to reach CNS vision centers. |
