The fibers from the retina run along the optic nerve to nine primary visual nuclei in the brain, whence a major relay inputs into the primary visual cortex.
The optic nerve is composed of retinal ganglion cell axons and Portort cells. It leaves the orbit (eye) via the optic canal, running postero-medially towards the optic chiasm where there is a partial decussation (crossing) of fibers from the nasal visual fields of both eyes. Most of the axons of the optic nerve terminate in the lateral geniculate nucleus from where information is relayed to the visual cortex. Its diameter increases from about 1.6 mm within the eye, to 3.5 mm in the orbit to 4.5 mm within the cranial space. The optic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe, 24 mm in the orbit, 9 mm in the optic canal and 16 mm in the cranial space before joining the optic chiasm. There, partial decussation occurs and about 53% of the fibers cross to form the optic tracts. Most of these fibres terminate in the lateral geniculate body.
From the lateral geniculate body, fibers of the optic radiation pass to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe of the brain. More specifically, fibers carrying information from the contralateral superior visual field traverse Meyer's loop to terminate in the lingual gyrus below the calcarine fissure in the occipital lobe, and fibers carrying information from the contralateral inferior visual field terminate more superiorly.

^ Ah right. Now I get it.
= o
I'm personally relieved to discover the fibres carrying inferior visual material manage to terminate more superiorly. They'd really be on a bum trip otherwise.

Have i already told you about the ability of flash to seriously piss me off?

But only when I rollover the hotspot.Horp - ( I would really need someone else to tell me if that was a good web joke or not. I have no idea).Horp

- And, no it was as lame as a rollover in flash.
Fariska - It's not my fault if i'm so rude today.
It's because of flash.Fariska - I laughed at hotspots... not sure if that indicates whether it was a good joke or not...NotByHand

Yesterday I saw Milk.
After that, I had a hair-appointment where I got my hair colored and cut.
Am I gay?

I am fucking exhausted, I can't sleep until 2am and my pissing cat wakes me up about 7am. I am going to have to do more exercise in order to go to sleep earlier. My day currently consists of me waking up then getting to work and then being in a total zombie like state until after lunch and I am getting quite anxious about it. I have been feeling like this for a long time now so I must do something about it. Less qbn as well I think. I feel a bit internetted out like I am stuck in an inexorable spin which involves three websites. So I am taking a break from the internets for a while. See youse in a bit.

I was planning on getting some tees for my brother but the shipping costs more than twice as much as the tees do, so there goes that plan.
