The Optic Chiasm and How It Affects Vision
The optic chiasm is an X-shaped structure formed by the crossing of the optic nerves in the brain. The optic nerve connects the brain to the eye. To biologists, the optic chiasm is thought to be a ...

RGC axons at the optic chiasm with and without mutations in Eph-ephrin signaling
Dil was injected into the left retina, and RGC axons were traced to the optic chiasm. In the wild-type animal, a subset of RGC axons is repelled at the midline and to the binocular pathway (top ...

The Ephs and Ephrins Hardwire the Nervous System
These RGC axons then navigate toward the midline of the brain at the optic chiasm, where some axons cross the midline and some do not. The proper migration of RGC axons thus contains three ...
