The inner visual field of the right eye
Let's apply the basics to the inner visual field of the right eye. Because of the lens, the image in the inner half of the right eye (the club) is projected to the outer half of the right eye retina and action potentials are generated. Also, as the fibers from the outer half of the retina do not cross the right-left midline, the image signals reach the right cerebral cortex via the right optic tract.
Challenge Quiz
The image in the inner half of the right eye is projected to the inner outer half of the right eye retina. The fibers carrying the generated signals do do not cross the right-left midline, and the image signals reach the left right cerebral cortex.
The image in the inner half of the right eye reaches the left right cerebral cortex.
