Visual pathways. Artwork of the visual pathways in the human brain. The optic nerves (white and blue lines) extend from the retinas at the back of each eye towards the optic chiasma (centre of orange x) at the centre of the brain. At the optic chiasma the optic nerves from the left visual field of both eyes go to the right hemisphere of the brain, and vice versa. The optic nerves terminate in the occipital lobes, the visual processing centres at the rear of the brain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Visual Pathways" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate network of our visual system. Against a striking black background, the illustration showcases the complex pathways that transmit visual information from our eyes to the brain. The optic nerves, depicted as white and blue lines, emerge from the retinas located at the back of each eye. These vital conduits extend towards the central region of the brain known as the optic chiasma, represented by an orange X. At this crucial junction point, an intriguing phenomenon occurs: optic nerves originating from both eyes' left visual field cross over to connect with the right hemisphere of our brain, while those from the right visual field do likewise in reverse. As we follow these remarkable pathways further, we discover that they ultimately terminate in a significant area called occipital lobes - responsible for processing and interpreting visual stimuli - situated at the rear of our brains. This artwork not only highlights their anatomical structures but also emphasizes their role in enabling us to perceive and make sense of our surroundings. With its meticulous labeling and attention to detail, this print serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring human biology or neurology. It seamlessly combines artistry with scientific accuracy to provide a visually stunning representation of one of our most essential senses – vision.
