Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lateral geniculate nucleus is the primary center for processing visual information received from the retina. Signals from the retina travel via the optic nerve to reach the lateral geniculate nucleus. The temporal cortex is involved in processing auditory information and language, the superior colliculus is involved in visual attention and eye movements, and the visual homunculus is a representation of the body in the visual cortex, but not a destination for signals travelling directly from the retina.
