Optic fasciculus sulcus

The optic fasciculus sulcus is one of the most important structures of the brain; it connects the visual center in the occipital lobe of the brain and the temporal lobe. The sulcus is about 25 mm long and is a slanted slit passing through the pons, body of the brain and parietal. Its location affects the development of the human brain and nervous system as a whole.

The optic fasciculus sulcus is used to transmit information from the visual analyzer to the parietal lobe cortex in the pons, and then to the optic and gray matter of the temporal lobe cortex. It is a connecting element between the visual cortex and other parts of the cerebral cortex. The optic beam also
