TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - The Visual System A1 - Waxman, Stephen G. PY - 2020 T2 - Clinical Neuroanatomy, 29e AB - The visual system conveys more information to the brain than any other afferent system. This information is processed within the brain so as to form a set of maps of the visual world. Humans are “Visual animals” and relatively large proportion of human brain tissue is devoted to vision. The visual system includes the eye and retina, the optic nerves, and the visual pathways within the brain, where multiple visual centers process information about different aspects (shape and form, color, motion) of visual stimuli.
