Q: Ganglion neurons project to @. What is the function of this retinal projection?
ANS:  For controlling saccades, which are fast, darting movements of the eyes

Q: Name one neurological sign that a lesion of the encircled structure would produce.
ANS: pupillary asymmetry

Q: Where do neurons in the nucleus A synapse?
ANS: primary visual cortex; area 17

Q: Contrast the retinal origins of axons that are located at A (at the lateral margin of the marked structure) and B (on the midline of the marked structure)?
ANS: A.  Ipsilateral temporal retina; B. contralateral nasal retina

Q: What artery supplies %. What neurological sign is produced if % were completely lesioned?
ANS: contralateral visual field blindness (homonymous hemianopsia)

Q: Lesion of X would produce what neurological sign?
ANS: blindness in one eye (X marks the optic nerve)

Q: Approximately what layer of visual cortex is at the tip of the pointer?
ANS: 4 (4b, to be precise)

Q: Name one target of axons at the tip of the pointer?
ANS: primary visual cortex

Q: From which layer does the lateral geniculate nucleus receive a projection?
ANS: B (A=Layer 1; B=layer 6; C=white matter)

Q: What part of visual space is represented at the asterisk?
ANS: upper peripheral visual field

Q: What visual function is mediated by the circled visual area? Hint: the area is V5
ANS: visual motion perception; helps to guide smooth pursuit eye movements
