Information from the right visual field is conveyed to which of the following?

A. Left lateral geniculate and left visual cortex
B. Right lateral geniculate and right visual cortex
C. Bilateral geniculate then left visual cortex
D. Bilateral secondary visual cortices
E. Right pretectal area of superior colliculus


ANS: A
Rationale: The left half of each retina receives information from the right visual field. Signals from the nasal retina of the right eye cross the midline in the optic chiasm, signals from the temporal retina of the left eye continue ipsilaterally. Thus the information from the right visual field is conveyed to the left lateral geniculate and left visual cortex.
