Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The superior colliculi, motor nucleus for oculomotor nerve, and motor nucleus for trochlear nerve are all involved in visual processing and eye movement control. The superior colliculi receive visual input from the retina and are involved in reflexive eye movements, while the motor nuclei are responsible for controlling the muscles that move the eyes. The other options do not contain the correct nuclei involved in visual processing and vision.
