Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axons from each eye project to the optic chiasm, where they partially cross over. Axons from the nasal (inner) half of each retina cross to the opposite side of the brain, while axons from the temporal (outer) half remain on the same side. This allows visual information from each visual field to be processed by the opposite hemisphere of the brain.
