Describe the development of the eye and the distinct neuron
pathways that allow for the complex processing of visual
information.
- What is the optic placode and where does it originate?
- The temporal and nasal retinal fields are distinctly
innervated. What causes the embryological difference between these
structures?
- How does neuronal pathfinding work, both in general and in the
optic nerve specifically?
- What causes decussation in the optic chiasm?
- Why do only some of the neurons decussate?
- How does the brain develop a map of the visual field?
