Understanding the Pathway of Visual Information Processing

Which pathway does information follow from the retina to V1 (Striate Cortex)?

a) Retinocollicular Pathway
b) Retinogeniculate Pathway
c) Retinotectal Pathway
d) Retinostriate Pathway

Final answer:

The pathway that information follows from the retina to V1 (Striate Cortex) is the Retinogeniculate Pathway.

Explanation:

The Retinogeniculate Pathway: The pathway that information follows from the retina to V1 (Striate Cortex) is the Retinogeniculate Pathway. This pathway involves the projection from retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) through the optic nerve to the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus. From there, the information is relayed to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe where visual perception takes place.
