Question
‘The lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus (the LGN) receives input from the ….via the optic nerve (cranial nerve II) and sends its output to the …. via optic radiation.’Which words below complete the sentence correctly?A) Horizontal Cells – V4B) Amacrine Cells – V1C) Ganglion Cells – V1D) Amacrine Cells – V5
Solution
The correct answer is C) Ganglion Cells – V1. The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus receives input from the retinal ganglion cells via the optic nerve and sends its output to the primary visual cortex (V1) via the optic radiation.
