PGO spikes travel in what order?
A)pons to medial geniculate to occipital cortex
B)pons to genu of the corpus callosum to occipital cortex
C)pons to lateral geniculate to occipital cortex
D)putamen to geniculate to orbital frontal regions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PGO spikes travel from the pons to the lateral geniculate nucleus (not the medial geniculate or orbital frontal regions) before reaching the occipital cortex. Therefore, the correct order is pons to lateral geniculate to occipital cortex. The genu of the corpus callosum and putamen are not involved in the PGO spike pathway.
