The outer visual field of the left eye
Let's apply the basics to the outer visual field of the left eye. Because of the lens, the images in the outer half of the left eye (green cylinder) is projected to the inner half of the left eye retina and action potentials are generated. Also, as the fibers from the inner half of the retina cross the right-left midline, the image signals reach the right cerebral cortex via the right optic tract.
Challenge Quiz
The images in the outer half of the left eye is projected to the inner. outer half of the left 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 images in the outer half of the left eye reach the left.right cerebral cortex.
