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.  A  relatively  large  proportion  of  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.
