Visual System: How Does Blindsight Arise? Alan Cowey  Current Biology  Volume 20, Issue 17, Pages R702-R704 (September 2010) DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2010.07.014 Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 The known pathways from the eye to the brain. The right side of the diagram shows the normal arrangement; the left side shows the effect of removing V1. Thicker lines show the heavier projections. Dotted lines show numerically weaker projections. The many onward cortical pathways from V2, V3, V4, etc. are omitted. On the left, lacking V1, the major visual input to the temporal lobe processing stream is diminished but that from the K cells remains. The subcortical nuclei within the square outline at the bottom are chiefly concerned with reflexive responses to light. Labelling from bottom upwards: SCN, suprachiasmatic nucleus; MTN, LTN and DTN, medial, lateral and dorsal terminal accessory optic nuclei; NOT, nucleus of the optic tract; ON, olivary nucleus; PGN, pregeniculate nucleus; SC, superior colliculus; IP, inferior pulvinar; LGN, lateral geniculate nucleus. It is not yet clear whether the K cell input to temporal lobe areas TEO and TE is direct or via V2, V3 and V4. Adapted with permission from [3].
