516
Optic Track
Superior are medial side, Inferior are lateral. Macular are middle.
517
LGN layers
At the thalamus. Mango layers 1,2. Parvocellular 3-6. Koniocellular are between.
518
Uncrossed fibers of the optic synapse in
2,3,5
519
Crossed fibers of the optic synapse in
1,4,6
520
The orientation of different fibers
Superior are medial. Inferior are lateral.
521
Optic radiation inferior
Inferior radiations-fibers travel through the temporal lobe and around the lateral ventricle into the parietal lobe and form meter's loop
522
Optic radiation superior
Superior radiation-Course directly through inferior parental lobe and terminate in occipital lobe.
523
Optic radiation mnemonic
SPIT(M).
524
Calcimine fissue
Divides occipital lobe into anterior and posterior
525
Cuneus gyrus
Superior fibers terminate here
526
Lingual gyrus
Inferior terminate here
527
SCIL
Superior cuneus, inferior lingual.
528
Macula in V1
Project to the outer surface of the apex of the occipital lobe. Superior to cuneus and inferior to lingual.
529
Summary of inferior retinal fibers
lower fibers course laterally in optic tract to form milers loop and end in lingual gyrus.
530
Layer 4 of V1
Synapses between optic radiations and neurons in cortex. Sent to higher cortical area for processing
531
Layer 5 of V1
Send to superior colliculus
532
Layer 6 of V1
Provide feedback to lgn.
533
Ocular dominance columns
in V1. fibers from only one eye
534
Blood supply to optic chiasm
Circle of willis and branches of ICA
535
Blood supply to the optic tracts
Anterior choroidal branch of the middle cerebral artery
536
LGN blood supply
Suppled by anterior choroidal and posterior cerebral arteries
537
Optic radiation blood suply
Suppled by anterior choroidal, middle cerebral, and posterior cerebral
538
V1 blood supply
posterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery
539
Post chasmal lesion
Homonymous visual field defects on the same side.
540
Most posterior a post chasmal lesion is located the more ______ the defect is
congruous
541
Temporal lobe defects
Defect for inferior eye-->superior VF defect. Pie in the sky.
542
Parental lobe defects
Defects of superior eye-->pie on the floor.
543
Which VF results in asymmetrical OKN response?
Parietal
544
Is visual acuity affected in post chasmal lesions
No. Unless bilateral lesions are present. Only if both blood supplies to V1 are obstructed and that is rare.
545
Macular sparing homonymous hemianopsia
most commonly a stroke that affected middle or posterior cerebral but not both.
546
Macula only homonymous hemianopsia
Most likely a tumor that has compresses both blood supplies to the macula cortex.
547
Bitemperoal hemianopis
Pituitary gland tumor
548
Junctional scotoma
Optic chiasm lesion that gets central vision loss in one eye and anterior knee of wilbrand.
549
Vf defects that respect the horizontal midline
Lesions anterior to the chiasm
550
What are most homonymous hemianopsia due to ?
Strokes. (except macula only homonomoys hemianopsia)
551
ON lesions
Asymmetrical. Typically respect the horizontal median.
552
Retinal lesions
Asymmetrical. Will not respect any midline.
